Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is set to join HBO Max next week, bringing the 144-minute horror classic to the streaming service. The film first hit theaters 46 years ago.
Co-written and directed by Kubrick, The Shining is based on Stephen King's 1977 novel. It centers on the Torrance family at the Overlook Hotel, with Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd starring.
Upon its original release, the film was not well-received. King was also dismissive of Kubrick's changes to his novel, a divide that has long fascinated fans of both versions.
Screen Rant notes the film's enduring reputation ahead of its HBO Max debut, where a new audience can revisit Kubrick's take on King's story.
