The Shining

I just finished listening to a movie called The Shining, by Stephen King.
It's about a little boy named Danny and his family spending the winter at a hotel called The Overlook. Danny has a special gift, a psychic ability that allows him to see the future a bit, and he has an imaginary friend who is very real to Danny. Once at the hotel though, bad things start happening. By the end of the movie, the hotel has come to life, and it's up to Danny, his mother, and a friend named Dick to escape the evil hotel before the boiler explodes. Danny's father, an alcoholic, begins drinking at the hotel, which allows the hotel to take over his mind and turn him against his wife and son. The father perishes in the hotel, allowing his son and wife to escape. The movie is about 4 and a half hours long, but well worth the time. I really enjoyed it.
