Atom User Reviews for Doctor Sleep
#19 will forever be etched into my head. That scene left me shaking with tears pouring down my face.. Poor baseball boy...
another film well delivered and great ending! go and watch this everyone
"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…
Do yourself a favor and watch it! I loved it, it was insanely intense from beginning to end!!
long drawn out..not even scarey
Just need to see it! That’s all I can say!
it took too long to get started
Whew! 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…
A little bummed Jack Nicholson wasn’t playing jack

Trash
Very well done with some interesting elements shiwn, but never explored
Everything I wanted and more!
Greatest movie I’ve seen in all my 20 years of life lmao
Loved it!
the shinning All time favorite movie..continuation
Exactly what horror movies and sequels should be!! So good! Thanks for taking us back!!!
Great mix of prior material with a new twist to the story.
solid sequel. bringing it back to the OG was a great job.
Slow start but an awesome movie
Awesome sequel! Love it!
I understand why they did what they did,but a wee bit closer to the book would have been great.
great movie
AWESOME!
This movie kept me on the edge of my seat!
Terrific cast with top-notch acting. Actor Kyliegh Curran was very talented and hold her own with the older actors.
As some one who's never really watched The Shining (at least not all together, I've seen it in bits and pieces) I enjoyed Doctor Sleep. Watching Danny complete his story and help Abra start hers was great. There were also enough creepy and intense moments to keep me on the…
If you read the book you’ll be disappointed in the movie.
The best scary movie of the year!!
Awesome movie you dont need to see the shinning to follow. Stephen King is on a roll.
I liked the little twists towards the end from the original movie with The Shining in that hotel
Best movie ever man
it was good I was ok with the changes it made the movie perfect amd scary but I hated the ending which would have made a perfect score
Good movie but couldn't handle a couple scenes that I can personally relate to. #bringmeganhome
Solid movie, but not my fave
Really good just takes feels so long cause of the backstory
Very slow movie with moments that drag on.
Serious horror flick. Liked the acting, originally, unfolding of plot. Disliked how the threat felt tame, didn't go dark enough. They let off on the gas when they should've stomped on it
really good!!! I recommend it but watch the first one ( The Shining)
Amazing movie...a great job by the director and cast!
Great follow up to The Shining!
great movie
Great sequel with a great cast. Only wished they cgi or got better actors to play the mom and dad again.
Great movie!!! you don't have to know the shinning to like this movie! very intense!
If you love “The Shining” as much I do then you’ll really like this movie. It’s got the same kind of pacing and it builds up to a satisfying ending. I’m going to go see this again and will own it on Blu-ray.
A Must see if your a horror fan!
Good movie, better without the gruesome violence to children.
This movie was super awesome!
Great movie, had me glued to the screen
Metacritic
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.
