Ondskabens hotel
Jack Torrance flytter sammen med hans kone og deres 5 årige søn Danny ind på det elegante, men isolerede Overlook Hotel i Colorados bjerge. Her har Jack fået job som vicevært i vintersæsonen. Han håber på at få ro til at skrive, - men efter meget kort tid opdager de, at hotellets bærer på mange grusomme hemmeligheder. Jack bliver gradvis mere utilregnelig og det går op for dem alle, hvor isoleret de er i bjergene.
