THE SHINING is a 1980 horror drama in which a man takes a job as a caretaker in a remote and isolated hotel during the winter season. This is the extended US version of the film.
- Violence
There are a number of scenes of violence or violent threat in which the increasingly deranged central character chases after his wife and child with an axe. In one scene he also kills a man who is trying to help his family, burying the axe in the man's chest. This is not shown in any great detail, however, with the axe wound visible only through the man's coat.
- Language
There is use of strong language ('f**k'), which is sometimes directed aggressively by the central character toward his wife. There are also uses of moderate and mild bad language, including 'bitch' and 'son of a bitch'.
The film also contains sight of nudity but without strong detail or sexualisation. In one scene, a naked woman is shown with rotting sores all over her body.
