Answer 1

1. Jack was always the caretaker,But after he "Suppose" to have retired to be a writer he came back again for the winter.He knew everything that went on in and out of the hotel.(The picture at the end of the movie notice the date).that's how you can tell he was the old caretaker.Plus it was a good place for him to write so he could concentrate.

2..They could not leave cause they were snowed in.And jack ripped the wires from the snow mobile.

3.The spirits let him out.

4. He was suppose to be working on his new novel (?) But after being disturbed by the spirits he went crazy.

5. The black man (Cat man Scruthers) was the Maintenance man.He was a telepathic he knew the place was haunted and could communicate with the little boy threw his mind.So that's how the family knew they were in danger.

Answer 3

Perhaps rent the movie and watch it from the beginning instead of just catching the last hour on television.  That will help answer all of the question you asked.  It will also be much more rewarding.

Answer 4

Well it's been some time since I last saw it but 1) They were staying in the hotel because he takes the job to be the winter caretaker of that hotel 2) They can't leave because of the weather conditions and because Jack is going loco 3) The spirits helped him get out of the cellar i think 4) The hotel is haunted and whomever stays there goes crazy and kills his family 5) The black guy at the end is the only one that knows that the hotel is haunted and communicates with Jack's son, that's how he realizes that they were in danger and he went back to the hotel.

Answer 5

Why are they in the hotel? --------  At the beginning, the father got a job to watch over the hotel for a while while it was closed and he really needed the money.

Why don't they leave? ---------------- The mother wanted to but the father wouldn't let her and he's gone crazy and really wants the money.

How did jack get out of the cellar? -------------- He was let out by the spirit of the previous person who went crazy while watching over the hotel. He let him out if jack promised he'd kill his wife and little boy.

What made him crazy? -------------- It's not what he was working on ( all that was was "all work and no play makes johnny a dull boy" written over again) that made him crazy, it was being away from people for so long and there was also something not right about the hotel that messed up his mind.

Who was the black guy? ------------ He was the one who showed the family the hotel when they first moved in. He also has the "shining" power that the little boy has so they can both have conversations without talking, just in their mind. The little boy sends him visions of what is happening and what he sees. He tries to help him.
