The Shining's Shelley Duvall is coming out of retirement after a 20-year acting hiatus to star in an upcoming horror movie, Forest Hills.
Hopefully, Forest Hills will allow Duvall to make the most of her acting comeback, and let her have the final say on her legacy in Hollywood. While it won't be just Duvall's responsibility to make Forest Hills a success, she will certainly be a factor in how the movie performs, and, has the star power to draw audiences in. [The Shining](https://screenrant.com/tag/the-shining/)'s Shelley Duvall makes her return to acting in over 20 years in the new horror movie Forest Hills. Throughout Forest Hills, Duvall's character is said to be a guiding voice to her son, Rico, however, that is quite opposite of the bewildered Wendy Torrance viewers know and love in The Shining. It will follow Mendez as Rico, a man who begins to have nightmarish visions after suffering a head injury while camping in the rural Catskill mountains. Best-known for her role as Wendy Torrance in [Stanley Kubrick's psychological thriller, The Shining](https://screenrant.com/stephen-king-wrong-kubrick-shining-adaptation-good-why/), based on Stephen King's novel, Duvall earned acclaim for her performances in various films such as Brewster McCloud (1970), Annie Hall (1977), and Popeye (1980) throughout her career.
