Since much time has passed since the release of The Shining, it was assumed that all sets used for the Overlook Hotel were destroyed. However, Elstree Studios, a generic term for demolished British film studios in or around Elstree in Hertfordshire, England, had been hanging on to the final remaining site this whole time.
Katharina Kubrick, Stanley Kubrick’s daughter, had this to say about The Shining documentary, “The production of The Shining has been well documented and analyzed, but this is a story which has never been told. Pivotal scenes from the film took place in these areas, so going back to them felt like stepping into the movie itself.”
