King provides readers with just enough detail to make Wendy a well-rounded and interesting character. Wendy is well aware of the danger that her husband poses when he’s drunk.įlashbacks also reveal that she has seen a marriage dissolve firsthand (her parents’) and fears that what happened to them is going to happen to her. This includes those that might be handed out by his own father. Wendy Torrance is driven by a desire to improve her marriage but, beyond all, protect her son from any injuries that might come his way. This is, despite the fact that his father, Jack, recently broke his arm in a drunken accident. He fears the possibility of divorce more than anything else. Danny, although only five years old, is well-aware of the troubles his parents are dealing with. When the novel begins, the Torrance family is teetering on the edge. In all, I would recommend this movie to a mature fourteen-year-old.Stephen King’s use of character development throughout this novel is what makes the book so thrilling and moving. Although there are brief sequences of violence (a vision of two twins bloody corpses, a man falling down the stairs, and a stabbing that all last mere seconds) and nudity (a ghost is seen in room 237 appears as a young nude woman who climbs out of her tub, however this lasts seconds and no mature sex takes place) this is not an explicit slasher picture, but a glimpse into the psychosis of a madman and a hotel.įrequent language is used, but in my opinion, language is the least of your worries. In my opinion, the film portrays the struggles of mental health and drug abuse, and this is just about the only bold mature topic that parents need to worry about.
The Shining is a psychological horror film about an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic who accepts a position as the off-season caretaker of the isolated historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies, with his wife, Wendy Torrance (Duvall), and young son, Danny Torrance (Lloyd).
