SCAD Cinema Circle: The Shining
Pay tribute to the incomparable Shelley Duvall with a terrifying testament to her talent. Stanley Kubrick meets Stephen King in this bravura vision of a descent into madness that took the horror genre to new heights. Writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as the caretaker in a resort hotel and moves his family (Duvall, Danny Lloyd) high into the Colorado mountains. As the only residents of the hotel for the winter, what starts as a nice, quiet place to get some writing done takes a very sinister turn. Required viewing for cinephiles, it's not an overstatement to say that this chilling, menacing, and beautiful maze of a film introduced a new way of seeing.
Tickets for the event are free for SCAD Card holders; $5 for students, military, and seniors; and $8 for the general public.
