From the box:

Two-time Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson overwhelms you as Jack Torrance, winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, who spirals helplessly towards madness and murder as the hotel’s power plays upon his weaknessess. Shelley Duvall is the ultimate woman on the run as Jack’s put-upon wife Wendy, and Danny Lloyd effectively plays their psychic son, whose ability — his “shining” — unlocks visions of evil.

From the box:

Achieve, be excellent… and be afraid.
When the esteemed Blue Ribbon Club of Cradle Bay High takes its slogans too far, things in the small coastal town begin to go wrong. Dead wrong. Newcomer Steve Clark finds fast allies in Gavin, an overly imaginative paranoid and Rachel, a “bad girl” with a razor-sharp tongue and a body to match. But when some “dark sinister force” begins turning the school’s curricularly challenged into the soulless, academic elite, these three “outsiders” join in a desperate, dizzying race to avoid becoming insiders–and losing their individuality forever!
