The Shining makes some major changes.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Shining is one of the best-known adaptations of Stephen King's work, but Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film is quite different from the book it's based on. Although Kubrick kept the characters and premise of King's source material, the director made a number of changes to the smaller details. Many of these came to define the movie — so much so that readers may be surprised to learn they aren't in the book.
9 Wendy Is A Way Better Character When it comes to the main characters, The Shining book does a much better job of making them multifaceted. It's not just Jack who receives a greater level of depth in King's writing. Wendy Torrance is also a better character in King's source material. Wendy's book counterpart is much less passive than Shelley Duvall's iteration of her. The Shining movie removes all of Wendy's self-confidence and makes her seem like a hysterical pushover.
5 Jack Wields A Different Weapon Jack pursues his family members and Overlook employee Dick Hallorann with an ax in the movie version of The Shining. In the book, he wields a different weapon: a mallet. It's a minor change made in The Shining's jump from the page to the screen. However, given how iconic the image of Jack with his ax is, it's one that movie-only fans might not anticipate.
