Informazioni su questo film

DOCTOR SLEEP DIRECTOR'S CUT, con scene nuove e alternative/estese non presenti al cinema. “Doctor Sleep” è il prosieguo della storia di Danny Torrance 40 anni dopo i terrificanti eventi di Shining di Stephen King. Ancora segnato dal trauma vissuto da bambino all’Overlook, Dan Torrance ha combattuto per trovare la sua pace. Ma quella pace viene distrutta quando incontra Andrea, una coraggiosa teenager con un dono potente, chiamato “luccicanza”. Avendo riconosciuto istintivamente che Dan condivide il suo potere, Andrea l’ha cercato per chiedere il suo aiuto contro la spietata Rose Cilindro ed i suoi seguaci, il Vero Nodo. Formando un’alleanza improbabile, Dan e Andrea si lanciano in un brutale scontro mortale con Rose. L’innocenza di Andrea e il modo in cui accetta senza paura la sua luccicanza spingono Dan a usare i suoi poteri come mai prima, facendo risvegliare le sue paure ed obbligandolo ad affrontare i fantasmi del passato.

Valutazioni e recensioni

An amazing movie, a psychologically poignant story of redemption and transcendence of difficult circumstance. It was challenging to watch in original version, and I presume director's cut is even more challenging due to the graphic nature of some of the parts. The story is well told and the call backs to " The Shinning" are so unmistakable. I watched the prequel in preparation for this movie and I was not disappointed. In this movie, the focus shifts onto the larger view and the circumstance surrounding the events of the previous one. Seeing Danny come home and make friends with his inner demons brought tears to my eyes, as it resonates with my personal difficult circumstances. Depending on where you at, it might be a challenging movie to watch so be gentle with yourself. I highly recommend it nonetheless.

Any Stephen King adaptation is worth watching. But this is a strange combo of a Kuprik sequel based on a Stephen King original. Major disappointment if you read the book. Too many cuts and changes from the source material. Uncle dan, Billy and doc, changing Andi's age, zero mention of Silent Sarah. So much focus on the Overlook that the plot suffers.

Great film if you liked the shining. Can't watch this without watching that 1st in my opinion. Not a hardcore fan, so not going to nit pick minor details. Worth a rent easy. If you own The Shining and watched it more than once. Can't see why you wouldn't want to own this. For me 1 time watch maybe 2 times is good. Most suspense movies are like that for me.
