Danny even manages to anticipate what is about to happen by writing “redrum” on the bathroom door because this is where the murder will take place. The separation of Danny's alter ego voices into manifestations of Tony and Jack, through the presence / absence of his wagging finger, fits very well throughout the film.
The hotel had a previous winter caretaker who went insane and killed his family and himself. After a winter storm leaves the Torrances snowbound, Jack's sanity deteriorates due to the influence of the supernatural forces that inhabit the hotel, placing his wife and son in danger.
One of the biggest giveaway's that Jack strangled Danny is a shot in which Jack walks down a mustard coloured hallway before switching on the lights of the Gold Room. In the previous scene he was accused by his wife of choking the boy and in this scene his reaction to the presence of mirrors confirms her accusation.
Even though it is not as violent as halloween or slasher films its still pretty violent and still pretty sexual the language is not horrible but not PG-13 language. It is a great movie that will stick to your mind for a long time.
Wendy and Danny get the better of Jack after he attacks Wendy, locking him inside the walk-in pantry, but the ghost of Delbert Grady releases him after he makes Jack promise to bring him Danny and to kill Wendy. Jack attempts to break the door with the mallet, but Wendy slashes his hand with a razor blade to deter him.
The Stanley Hotel served as the inspiration for the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's 1977 bestselling novel The Shining and as the filming location for the 1997 TV miniseries, also written by King. Today, the hotel features a restaurant, spa and bed-and-breakfast, and provides guided tours.
The fictional hotel in “The Shining” is called the Overlook, and the Stanley Hotel is not the only real-life hostelry to claim ties to the movie. The Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon was used for some exterior shots, though the hotel's website explains that it lacks a hedge maze.
The scene when Jack writes obsessively on the typewriter "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" was re-shot a number of times, but changing the language of the typed copy to Italian, French, Spanish, and German, in order to match the respective dubbed languages.
The film is based on Stephen King's 1977 novel of the same name and stars
Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, and Danny Lloyd.

How long did the Shining take?
He points to the knitted Apollo 11 sweater that Danny wears and claims that "237" refers to the mean distance of the Earth to the Moon. He also refers to the fact that a carpet pattern resembles the Apollo launching pad as evidence that the film is an elaborate apology of sorts for Kubrick's involvement.
In the Stephen King novel on which Kubrick's film is based, the mysterious room is actually 217. Lore has it that Kubrick changed it so that people wouldn't be afraid to stay in the real room 217 at the Timberline Lodge in Oregon, which was used for hotel exteriors in the film.

(As is the novel's toothless detail that the ancient evil is — gasp! — female.) By Chapter Two's end, It does transform into something resembling a spider, an oversized Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) with arachnid legs, and that creature does mortally wound Eddie (James Ransone).
