The movie's premise is that a woman and her young child are trapped in a remote setting with a man who, from the outset, seems to resent and even hate them; their forced confinement together over a long winter puts the woman and child in mortal danger. The Overlook Hotel is, yes, sinister and even demonic, taunting Jack Torrance with bizarre visions that Kubrick manipulates to create a mounting sense of dread.

Abbots Mead, a stately Victorian estate in Hertfordshire, once served as Stanley Kubrick's retreat where he worked on influential films like 2001: A Space Odyssey.
