The Shining

Join Cult Classic Lismore for a screening of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" at Lismore's historic Star Court Theatre.

Plunge into 'The Shining,' a film that redefines the boundaries of the horror genre. At its core, it's a gripping tale of isolation and madness, adorned with layers of supernatural mystery and profound psychological depth.

 

The story unfolds in the ominous and secluded Overlook Hotel, where Jack Nicholson delivers a monumental performance as Jack Torrance, and Shelley Duvall portrays the unforgettable Wendy Torrance. Their intertwined journey into darkness is as compelling as it is terrifying. Kubrick's masterful direction draws audiences into an intricate labyrinth of the mind, challenging perceptions of reality and the supernatural. Renowned for its atmospheric tension, and unsettling score (featuring the likes of Krzysztof Penderecki, Wendy Carlos, and György Ligeti), the film is a pinnacle of storytelling and visual mastery.
