THE SHINING opens. Written by Diane Johnson and director Stanley Kubrick, from the novel by Stephen King.. Contentious, scare-free, style over substance adaptation with a wild-eyed Jack Nicholson as a blocked writer negotiating an inexorable descent into madness after assuming caretaker duties at shuttered, snowbound hotel. Co-starring Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers and Danny Lloyd.
