Let's dive into the enigma that is "The Shining," shall we? The basic gist of the ending kicks off when, in the first moment of confirmed supernatural intervention in the film, the ghost of previous caretaker Delbert Grady Philip Stone inhabiting the Overlook Hotel sets Jack Torrance Jack Nicholson free from his confinement in the pantry freezer.
Echoing the rampage of Grady from years prior, Jack begins running amok in the hotel, attempting to kill his family with an axe a croquet mallet in the book. Cornering them in a bathroom, his wife Wendy Shelley Duvall helps son Danny Danny Lloyd escape through the window which she is too big to fit through. Jack chops through the door but Wendy fends him off with a knife. He then pursues Danny into the hotel's outdoor hedge maze, and after hotly pursuing his boy's tracks, Danny fools his father by tracing backwards over his own tracks and then escaping.
Jack is misled through the maze, and winds up lost in the freezing cold. As Wendy and Danny escape in the snowcat that Hallorann brought with him, Jack slumps down amid the freezing maze, exhausted and muttering. A jump cut shows him the next morning completely frozen, literally stone cold dead. The final shot has the camera gliding through The Gold Room out into the hallway where rows of photographs from the hotel's past are hung.
As horror filmmakers have practiced time and time again, there's nothing like old music by dead people to set a mood. The key to understanding the ending lies in Grady's ominous portent to Jack in the bathroom midway through the film: "You are the caretaker. You've always been the caretaker.
I should know, sir I've always been here. Perhaps it's the fact that it was contaminated by the actions of "all the best people" that stayed there over the years, the rich and powerful, movie stars and royalty. It could also be that when it was built between and it happened to be on top of an ancient Native American burial ground, with the builders having to "fight off a few Indian attacks while they were building it" What a difference two years makes!
