The Shining Violence Quotes

Ullman isn't comfortable talking about it, but he feels like it's his duty to tell Jack about how the previous caretaker killed his family with an axe. After all, the isolation of the hotel might have helped cause the tragedy, and Jack is about to be put in the same circumstances with his family.

At this point in the movie, it seems as though Jack still loves his family enough not to kill them. This feeling won't last all that long, but at this point the thought of killing his family is nothing more than a nightmare for Jack.

As if his nightmare weren't bad enough, Jack dreams that he brutally butchered his wife and son. Little does he know that this is exactly what he'll try to do later in the movie. It's pretty sad that he can't see it coming.
