The Ghost Shop [Film and TV Commentary]

Jack (played by Jack Nicholson) is a writer. One winter, he got a job looking after a mountaintop hotel. This was exactly what Jack wanted. He could have a quiet place to write. So Jack moved into the hotel with his wife and children. In winter, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and there are only Jack and his family of three in the hotel on the top of the mountain. From the moment they moved in, Jack's wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) found the atmosphere here to be weird. Jack's son Danny (Danny Lloyd) often saw people he didn't know, but there was no one else here except their family. In addition to writing all day long, Jack's temper became increasingly weird. Until one day, Wendy discovered that her husband had been writing only one sentence these days: Jack is crazy.
