Descriptive – qualitative method is used to find out the ability of Indigo Danny as an indigo to prevent from murder of his family in the film ‘The Shining’. Structural approach is used to find out the general description of Danny Torrance as the main character, conflicts and settings in the film, while semiotic approach is used to analyze the signs such as symbol, icon and index of Danny Torrance as the main character, which are represented by the Indigo Danny. The result shows that Danny Torrance is an unsociable, smart, indigo, curious and stubborn person. The conflicts happened are between himself, the woman in the room 237 and Jack Torrance.
