The Shining Extended Cut

Directed by Stanley Kubrick

Never released theatrically in the UK, we are pleased to present this magnificent new digital print of Kubrick’s US version, which runs 24 minutes longer than the European cut previously seen.

Would-be writer Jack Torrance moves his wife and young son to take up a job as caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel during the winter months, only for their psyches to fall apart piece by piece as the hotel’s ugly past threatens to consume them all. With a career-best performance from Jack Nicholson, The Shining is a memorable example of Kubrick’s filmmaking talent and, 32 years since its original release, truly stands the test of time as one of the most terrifying cinematic experiences of all time.
