Continuing Family Is Hell Month with Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, a domestic horror masterpiece where addiction, resentment, and generational violence turn a winter isolation job into the world’s worst family retreat. We break down the plot, the psychology of the Torrances, and why the Overlook Hotel feels less like a haunting and more like an extension of the family’s curse.
