More King than Kubrick, yet slavishly reverent to the 1980 classic. Honestly I was kind of bored, it has its moments but I cannot recommend anyone rushing out to see this in theatres. Overly long, much more of a thriller than a horror movie, can’t say I was ever frightened. More of a superhero/vampire movie than anything else believe it or not. Rent this.

you say you see a bright light when youre dying if i dont get ewan mcgregor and his death cat then i aint going

Very much 2010 to THE SHINING's 2001, a very sturdy straight-up genre sequel made by a solid, unpretentious craftsman, just about the best available version of a film nobody needed and that couldn't possibly live up to its legacy. Does a good job of reckoning with King's cornball voice and his sillier tendencies, mostly because Flanagan's formal echoes are for the most part purposeful and effective, only rarely dipping into nostalgic callbacks. I'll forgive it for not sticking the emotional landing. Rebecca Ferguson as Demon Vagabond Stevie Nicks is a hell of a mood.

If you catch Rebecca Ferguson feeding on my shine do NOT prosecute her! She caught ME slipping!

someone forgot to cut out all the dumb shit about psychic children, as if Stanley Kubrick didn't leave them all the clues.

Dan Torrence went through a lot and I’m really glad he got his life together

An often repeated composition in Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleep adaptation is the chilling image of a person greeting the decaying, cackling 'room 237' spirit from Kubrick's film in a bathroom far away from the Overlook Hotel, shutting the door behind them in an effort to confront the evil head-on. Whereas Kubrick's film often revealed ghosts as totems of existential memory and the pains of being alive ("great party, isn't it?"), it is the reconciliation between King's overt mythology and Kubrick's image-making that Flanagan finds the courage to face the fear within us all. His often ruthless scare tactics are ultimately in service of never being afraid of anything except the inevitable - a hopeful, often melancholic gesture. Doctor Sleep then concludes as a grand horror epic, never losing sight of its characters even in a final stretch of familiar iconography and callbacks. I'm surprised this was made, but I'm even happier that it exists.

This film presents some interesting elements but then just turns into "remember The Shining? That was a pretty good movie" the movie
-
Imagine making a sequel to one of the greatest and most influential horror films of all time.
Ballsy.
