All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Jack Torrance becomes the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel up in the secluded mountains of Colorado. Jack, being a family man, takes his wife and son to the hotel to keep him company throughout the long and isolated nights. During their stay strange things occur when Jack's son Danny sees gruesome images powered by a force called "The Shining" and Jack is heavily affected by this. Along with writer's block and the demons of the hotel haunting him Jack has a complete mental breakdown and the situation takes a sinister turn for the worse.

Patten Cinemas is proud to present, for your viewing pleasure, The Shining. This special viewing of The Shining, marks the twenty seventh chapter of Sunday Movie Night, an ongoing series exploring cinema through the years. The weekly series continues Sunday, October 12th, at 7pm, and will return every Sunday at 7pm throughout the year.
