Little Danny Torence's empathic abilities, or "Shining" as Mr.Halloran calls it, make him a vessel for the evil that permeates the Overlook Hotel. He is compelled by these forces to write REDRUM on the wall whick invariably spell MURDER backwards.
One of the most memorable scenes in the movie has Jack break through the bathroom door with an axe in an attempt to kill his wife. The phycotic look on his face as he glares though the hole is one to remember!
This image of Jack takes place in the Hedge maze outside the Overlook. Over the edge of sanity, he blindly searches for his son Danny in order to kill him. Only through quick thinking does Danny manage to evade Jack who ends up lost in the maze and inevidably freezes to death!
