Synopsis
Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the "shine." Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality.

This was basically Monsters, Inc.
KyleNov 6, 2019More 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.…

If you catch Rebecca Ferguson feeding on my shine do NOT prosecute her! She caught ME slipping!
JackNov 4, 2019Very 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…

- Evan Vachon likedDoctor Sleep
7/10 This film feels pretty disconnected from The Shining which in my opinion is actually a good thing. It gets to tell its own story which I actually quite enjoy but does demystify some aspects of the original a bit. The final act can be a bit fanservicy but I think it earns it
Danial lovedDoctor SleepDo you think that you can get away with killing the child? Do you think that you are the strongest? great movie, a sequel to the shining movie 9/10
Kikibooly dislikedDoctor SleepYou know, I only watched this because of my love for the shining but mostly because of my love for Ewan McGregor and even so it was still boring
- A likedDoctor Sleep

Paulie walnuts dislikedDoctor SleepThe shining didn’t need a sequel, especially not this one
Emma likedDoctor SleepThey are pandering to me and it only half worked
- the one and only ballslover lovedDoctor Sleep
i actually really loved this movie. it was so crazy good. seeing the shine in its full power was so cool. seeing the like alien ppl whatever idk was cool. billy dying was so sad bruh. he was so cool. seeing a version of jack and wendy was pretty cool too. danny looked so cool with his eye thing…
Morgan lovedDoctor Sleepwas a pleasant surprise! it was touching how they explored the themes of death and alcoholism, and how danny was able to understand the shine in a more healthy way rose the hat was such a cool antagonist i enjoyed how they recontextualized some of the shining too great sequel
Will Eplion lovedDoctor SleepGreat movie. Love the vomit scene.

GEGabriel Escobaranother film well delivered and great ending! go and watch this everyone
SBScott Bell"Doctor Sleep" is an excellent adaptation of Stephen King's novel that manages to stay true to Kubrick's "The Shining" and King's latest novel. The tension is fantastic and the story plays out wonderfully showing us the trauma of Danny's post Outlook Hotel life while…

it took too long to get started
ALAshli LargéWhew! Doctor Sleep was a helluva film! Mike Flanagan's direction was perfection. It was smart and creepy and sad. I saw it on Friday and I'm still buzzed about it. The scene with the "Baseball Boy" was insane! Ewan McGregor was a good Danny Torrance. He played him equal…

Not surprisingly, Doctor Sleep splits the difference, dutifully attempting to honor both King’s writing and Kubrick’s film simultaneously. The movie actually manages to pull it off for a time, until in the last act revisited concepts start to play more like ill-advised retreads.

Doctor Sleep is more straightforward and narratively clean than The Shining. Although too long by at least 20 minutes, it is more accessible and doesn’t overly penalize those who haven’t seen (or don’t remember) the original movie.

A soul-killing sequel that gets its kicks torturing and murdering children and offers little hope or redemption. King has long wanted to commit “Redrum” on the reputation of Kubrick’s film, which he openly despises. Nearly 40 years later, this adaptation of King’s 2013 book “Doctor Sleep” doesn’t so much tarnish Kubrick as embarrass itself.
