Part 1. Preliminary questions

School teacher Jack Torrance is an alcoholic in the eyeballs, sometimes losing control. During one of the binges, he breaks the hand of his son, who scattered the sheets with the play on which he is working. Then he beats his student when he sees that he is piercing the tires of his car. For this, Jack is fired from school.

His family has a hard time, he and his wife Wendy are on the verge of a divorce. Strange incidents occurring to their five-year-old son Daniel add fuel to the fire. The boy is endowed with a supernatural gift of clairvoyance and telepathy, which is difficult for his parents to comprehend.

There is an acute shortage of money. Jack Torrance takes a temporary job at the Overlook Mountain Hotel. Ullman Stewart, the manager, believes that a man is not suitable for working in a hotel in conditions of six-month snow isolation from the outside world, but in this situation, Ullman’s opinion means little. Jack is a friend of the hotel owner Elbert Shockley. Together with Al Shockley, they stopped drinking after they shot down a bicycle at night, which, fortunately, ended up without a rider.

One of Jack's most important responsibilities is to monitor the pressure in the boiler room. A hotel employee, Watson, tells the new watchman about the hotel accidents and the notoriety Overluck enjoys.

There are scandals at every major hotel, and ghosts at every major hotel.

Watson himself does not believe in ghosts; he has been working at Overluk for most of his life, but has never met a single one.

Meanwhile, his son sees his invisible friend Tony, who shows the boy scary visions related to the hotel, where he and his parents will spend the whole winter. From these visions, the boy remembers the incomprehensible and creepy word "Trems". Danny decides not to say anything to parents yet.

Part 2. Closing Day

The whole Torrance family goes to Overluk. They arrive at the hotel on the last working day, all the guests and employees go home. Danny can't help feeling anxious. He and his parents meet a cook, a tall sixty-year-old black man, Dick Holloran, who also has the ability to telepathy. He notices a “radiance” around the boy and Wendy, whose gift is much weaker.

Shining, baby? Yes, how much, I have not met such yet.

Danny and Dick are breaking up friends. Finally, Holloran tells the boy that he should telepathically call him if trouble happens. The cook saw visions at the hotel, after which he realized that this was his last season at Overluk.

Before his departure, Ullman arranges a tour of the hotel for the Torrance. During this round, Danny sees blood on the wall of the presidential suite, and he is also worried about the old fire extinguisher. Ullman and Watson, left to recall the boilers to be watched, leave the hotel. The Torrance family remains completely alone.

Part 3. Wasp Nest

Danny and his mother are leaving for the city to stock up on Christmas presents, while the Overluck is still visible in the snow. Jack, meanwhile, decides to replace the roof tiles of the hotel. There, in a dangerous vicinity of Torrance, is a hornet's nest. One of the wasps bites Jack in the midst of work. A man decides to get rid of these dangerous insects.

His wife and son are returning from the city. Jack gives Danny an empty hornet's nest, the inhabitants of which he smoked a smoke bomb.

Wendy is concerned about the changes in her son - Danny eats little, loses weight, became quieter and spends a lot of time learning to read. That evening, the boy reads for a long time, until his mother sends him to sleep. Daniel goes to the bath and closes there. Jack, meanwhile, is working on a play, and Wendy is tormenting himself with pictures of the future when she becomes a stranger to her son.Excited about the continued absence of her son, she knocks on him, but receives no answer. Tired and angry Jack breaks the lock in the bathroom.

Parents discover Danny in a strange state - he looks in horror at the mirror hanging near the first-aid kit. In an unexpectedly low, almost masculine voice, the boy pronounces incoherent words and phrases: “rock”, “tournament”, “punch”, “hammer for rock”, “two sides”, “punch” and that same terrible word “TREMS”. Jack grabs the boy and shakes him violently; he is angry and ready to lose his temper. The tears and fright of the son who came to himself bring him back to reality, he apologizes to Danny. Wendy takes his son into the room and reassures him.

Jack comes to Danny’s room. Parents are about to leave, but the boy asks his father to linger. He tells him that Tony came to the bathroom, who told him to lock the door and showed the game in rock. The boy asks his father what “Trems” is, but his father does not know.

Danny is falling asleep. The boy has a nightmare: he runs away along the corridors of the hotel from the pursuer with a rock hammer and gets into a dead end. A cornered boy wakes up and feels that something is creeping along his arm. This is a wasp! Evil insects begin to sting a child.

Is it possible to expect that you will behave as a thinking human being if red-hot sharp needles pierce your hand?

His parents scream at him. Father takes Danny out of the bedroom, and mother, meanwhile, kills the flying creatures that the boy bit 11 times. Jack photographs his son’s hand and the nest, which, despite the smoke bomb used according to the instructions, is teeming with wasps.

In the afternoon, the Torrance family sends to a city where Danny is shown to a doctor. Dr. Bill Edmonds is interested in the “oddities” happening with Daniel, talking about them with a boy who trusts the doctor. At his request, he calls Tony, speaks with him. After that, Dr. Bill talks with his parents. He assures Jack and Wendy that nothing is wrong with their son, and everything is explained by the phenomena of the psyche. In case of any problems, the doctor advises you to consult a psychiatrist.

On the first of November, while his wife and son are walking around, Jack, as usual, sets off to relieve pressure in the boiler. Out of curiosity, he looks into the old papers lying in the boiler room, where he finds an album with newspaper cut-out articles on Overluk. The hotel has a rich history - the owners have changed, many have gone bankrupt. Accident, disassembling the mafia, resulting in a murder - everything was at this hotel. From this occupation his voice distracts him. He hides the album from her, not realizing why he is doing this.

Jack calls Stuart Ullman and tells him about the dark details of the Overlook story. He is outraged that these facts were hidden from him, swearing with the manager, threatening to write a book about "a famous hotel with a dark past." He cannot explain the reason for his behavior to himself.

After a while, Torrance calls Al Shockley. After almost scolding, they still find a compromise: Jack remains to work at Overluk, but does not call Ullman and writes no books about the hotel. Jack harbors a grudge against a friend and is still going to write a book after he finishes working.

Wendy and Danny leave for the city. Jack, cutting the bushes, begins to fool around in the playground. Suddenly, he notices that animal figures from the hedge change position every time he turns away, and then begins to move. He closes his eyes and everything disappears. Torrance writes everything off on hallucinations.

Snow falls. The phone stops working, and the only connection with the outside world is the receiver in Ullman's desk.

Danny breaks the promise made to cook Hollorann and enters number 217. His own reflection nods to him from the mirror, he realizes that there is something in the bathroom. Danny enters there and sees the dead woman, who has been dead for several days. The woman gets up. The boy is trying to escape, but panic prevents him from opening the door.Dick Hollorann's voice rings in his head.

I don’t think it can harm you ... like the pictures in a book ... close your eyes, it will disappear.

Time is running. And only the boy begins to relax and understand that the door must not be locked and you can go out, like forever moist, stained, fish-stinking hands gently closing on his neck, inexorably turning the child towards him so that Danny looks into his dead purple face.

Part 4. In the snow captivity

Jack and Wendy fall asleep. Jack is dreaming of a father. He wakes up in the barn, turns on the receiver and hears his father’s voice calling to kill Danny. Torrance breaks the device. Now the connection with the outside world is only a snowmobile behind the barn.

Wendy comes in. She is looking for a son. Almost quarreling, they begin to look for him together, find Danny and see his empty look in nowhere and bruises on his neck. Wendy accuses Jack of hallucinations. The boy tells his parents everything he saw. Jack goes to 217 number to check. Finding no one, he turns around, but the sounds from the bathroom and the outline of the silhouette that appeared behind the curtain make him run off the room. Wendy and Danny he says there is nothing there. Jack has a nightmare in which he kills his son.

In the garage, Jack puts the snowmobile into working order to take Danny away - Wendy insists on this, and he agrees with her. He already realized that all of his “hallucinations” were actually taking place.

The arguments against madness fail with a soft rustling sound, layer by layer ...

When Jack sets up a snowmobile, he is overcome by an irresistible urge to stay. He throws the part from the snowmobile far into the snow.

Danny plays on the court, which Dick advised not to approach. He is covered with snow, and then the bushes begin to chase. The boy hardly reaches the porch and talks about everything to his parents. Father is trying to convince Danny that this is a hallucination. Danny realizes that his father knows everything, and tells him about it. Jack gives his son a slap in the face and immediately apologizes - he does not understand what came over him. Wendy says she is also to blame for what is happening.

At night, the Torrens family wakes up with a working elevator. Jack, despite Wendy's protests, gets to work. He tries to assure everyone that this is a short circuit, but Wendy takes out a serpentine, confetti and a mask from the elevator. Jack looks at them indifferently. Wendy understands that Overluk is doing something bad with her husband.

Danny starts the clock in the ballroom. After that, a vision visits him, he now knows that TREMS is DEATH on the contrary. Appearing Tony says that he can no longer come, the hotel does not let him through. He advises the boy to call Dick, which he does.

Part 5. Life and death issues

Hollorann receives a signal from Danny when he is driving a car and nearly gets into an accident. He asks the boss and goes to help Danny. Dick booked a plane ticket, but was late for the flight due to the policeman stopping him. He has to buy a ticket for another plane.

Danny is talking to his mother. Overlook will take all three, but he needs Danny the most. Having received the boy with his “radiance”, the hotel will become much stronger. Danny tells his mother that the hotel is deceiving Jack that he threw a snowmobile part into the snow, and that Dick hurries to help. Jack forgets about the boiler, the pressure in it rises to a critical level, and the building almost takes off into the air. Jack barely has time to correct his mistake.

Jack hears the Overlook come to life. He gets to the party, he is served alcohol at the expense of the hotel, and he can no longer restrain himself. Here he meets Grady, a former ranger who killed his daughters and spouse. The caretaker, who is the hotel itself, is trying to get Jack to deal with his son.

Wendy comes down from the room to cook for his son to eat. She runs into a drunk Jack. A woman understands - the hotel took possession of her husband's mind.Now he will try to kill her and Danny, and after that the hotel will allow him to kill himself.

Jack begins to strangle his wife, Danny is trying to interfere. Jack throws him aside. Wendy breaks the bottle on her husband's head. They lock Jack in the pantry, where there is a supply of food, and remain to wait for help. The hotel begins to come to life.

Jack wakes up. The newly appeared Grady releases him from the pantry. Now Jack is ready to give the hotel a son and kill his wife. Leaving the pantry, he discovers that Grady has disappeared, and a rock hammer has appeared in the kitchen. He takes it and goes hunting.

Dick, hurrying to the rescue, nearly falls into the abyss by car due to a storm. Howard Cottrell, the driver of the snow blower, pulls him out. He lends Dika gloves and points out where to rent a snowmobile. The hotel sends him a telepathic message, tells him not to get into his own business, but Dick is still in a hurry to help Danny.

Wendy, worried about the cries from the pantry stopping, goes to check if Jack is in place and meets him. He attacks her and seriously injures, but Jack is also wounded, or rather, what is now hidden under his guise - Wendy managed to put a knife in his lower back.

His mind and body together represented a real guide to pain.

Dick rents a snowmobile, clothes and mask. The hotel is trying to stop him. Dick is attacked by a lion from a hedge, but the cook manages to burn him.

Wounded Wendy continues to her room, where Danny sleeps. She feels that she has no right to give up for her son. The woman locks herself in the room, but Danny is not there. Jack begins to be a doorknocker at the door, and she slowly succumbs. Wendy is hiding in the bathroom. Having broken one door, Jack takes on the second. In the medicine cabinet, Wendy finds the blades, arming them and cutting her husband’s hands when he pokes them into the punched hole and tries to find the shutter. The creature becomes furious, begins to destroy the number. Then the roar of the snowmobile engine is heard, and an angry Jack runs out of the room.

Dick Hollorann enters the hotel and sees a bloody trail reaching for the caretaker's apartment. Dick is afraid that he is late.

Hidden Jack attacks Dick, beats him and sets off to look for Danny.

Tony comes to Danny. He says his mother and Mr. Holloranna can be killed. He must help them - remember something that his father forgot about. Jack's voice is immediately heard seeking him. Danny runs, trying to hide in the attic, but there is a castle there. He sits down and starts to wait.

Meanwhile, the mother, who has come to herself, goes in search of Danny and finds the wounded Holloranna. They both hear that the creature that enslaves Jack finds Danny. Now only he can help the boy.

The creature that turned into Jack, finds Danny, but he does not show not the slightest fear. The creature takes off its mask - begins to beat itself with a hammer for rock in the face, destroying the remnants of the image of Jack Torrance. Danny recalls that his father forgot to relieve pressure in the boiler.

They didn’t release pressure in the morning! It is growing! The boiler will explode!

The hotel, worried about a dangerous situation, is trying to rectify the situation. Danny shines upon Danny, he feels that his mother and Mr. Hollorann are alive. They need to get out of here while they can do it. The boy finds them, and all three leave the hotel.

Meanwhile, “Overluk” in the form of a man gets to the boiler and turns the valve. The pressure begins to subside. The creature emits a joyful exclamation, but premature. The boiler still explodes. The hotel takes off into the air.

Danny and Wendy find themselves on the street in the winter without warm clothes - she stayed at the hotel. Dick wants to take warm blankets or blankets from the barn that were dumped there. There the hotel is trying to take control of it, but Dick escapes. All three hit the road and soon meet with other snowmobiles that brought them warm clothes, brandy and Dr. Edmonds.

Dick helps them find housing, and Al offers Wendy a job.Wendy and Danny want to forget about Overlook, but they cannot help but remember about their husband and father lost forever.
