THE SHINING is a US horror, from 1980, in which a writer takes his family to an empty hotel where he has taken a job as the caretaker.

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 only visible through the man's coat.
Language: There is strong language ('f**k') which is sometimes used aggressively by the central character towards 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.
