The Shining is a 1980 psychological horror film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. It was co-written with novelist Diane Johnson, and starred Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. The film is loosely based onthe novel of the same name by Stephen King. A writer, Jack Torrance, takes a job as an off-season caretaker at an isolated hotel. His young son possesses psychic abilities and is able to see things from the past and future, such as the ghosts who inhabit the hotel. Soon after settling in, the family is trapped in thehotel by a snowstorm, and Jack gradually becomes influenced by a supernatural presence; he descends into madness and attempts to murder his wife and son.
閃靈是一部上映于1980年的心理恐怖電影，斯坦利·庫布里克是這部電影的制作兼導演。他與小說家黛安·約翰遜共同寫下了電影劇本，主演杰克·尼克爾森，謝莉·杜瓦爾。電影大體上是根據史蒂芬·金的同名小說改編而成。杰克·托倫斯是一名作家，之后又在一家偏僻旅店當非應季管理員，他的兒子丹尼擁有著預知未來并進行心電感應的超能力，例如他知道這間旅店中住著鬼怪。入駐這家酒店后，這一家人遭到了暴風雪的阻攔，之后，杰克逐漸受到了超自然的影響；他變得精神失常，瘋瘋癲癲，并企圖殺害他的妻子和兒子。
Indeed, The Shining has become widely regarded as one of the greatest films of the horror genre and a staple of pop culture. It was named the all-time scariest film by the UK's Channel 4. Jack Torrance was named the 25th greatest villain on the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains list in 2003. Director Martin Scorsese placed The Shining on his list of the 11 scariest horror films of all time. Unlike previous Kubrick films, which developed an audience gradually by building on word-of-mouth, The Shining was released as a mass-market film. Film critics, film students, and Kubrick's producer, Jan Harlan, have all remarked on the enormous influence the film has had on popular culture.
的確，人們廣泛認為閃靈是恐怖電影中的經典之作，它也是流行文化的主要因素。英國4頻道把閃靈命名為史上最恐怖的電影。2003年，在美國電影協會百年100名最佳壞蛋和英雄名列中，杰克·尼克爾森排在了壞蛋名單的第25名。導演馬丁·斯科塞斯把這部影片收錄到了他的11部最恐怖電影名單之中。不像庫布里克之前的一些作品，他之前作品的觀眾都是口頭相傳，而閃靈擁有了更廣闊的市場。影評人、學生、庫布里克的制作人簡·哈蘭，他認為這部影片對流行文化產生了深遠的影響。
