About Jack Torrance From The Shining

The scariest scenes in the film are not the ghosts and ghouls but the scenes depicting the cruel nature of the characters when they are pushed to their limits. In The Shining, evil exists in the most unassuming people, such as former teacher and now caretaker Jack Torrance.

He is a recovering alcoholic who struggles with his inadequacies as a writer and father. He gradually becomes a victim of the evil supernatural forces lurking in the hotel. As his civilized exterior wears thin, his capacity for violence grows, and the Overlook Hotel's horrible place mutates his wife into a twisted likeness of his core self.

The film shows us a horror that is chillingly close at hand. We see that it is not the haunted house that we should fear but the horror within us.
