Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he, along with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, must live isolated from the rest of the world for the winter. But they aren't prepared for the madness that lurks within.
Editor's Verdict
❌NO
"The Shining is fundamentally a horror film. While it features a winter setting, the core elements of Christmas—narrative centrality, thematic connection, or iconography—are entirely absent. The winter setting is necessary for isolation, not for the Christmas spirit."
