Acerca desta película

“Doctor Sleep” is the continuation of Danny Torrance’s story 40 years after the terrifying events of Stephen King’s The Shining. 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. Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra’s innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before—at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.

Pleasantly surprised by how good and faithful this was to the shining. The biggest issue I have is that the shining didn't need a sequel - its a standalone genre defining film. The premiss of the group of protagonists is dark and conceptually brillant but the execution is poor and gets cheesy, main young actress overacts and a bit too woke for my liking but of course Ewan is holds it all together with a safe pair of hands.

Dare to go back to the overlook hotel I did and really enjoyed the movie, The Shining one of my favourite horror movie ever so was really excited that we was getting a 2nd chapter in the shining universe. Never read the book so had no idea what the plot was but it kept me hooked and keeps loyal to Stanley Kubrick's 1980 masterpiece.

Herrrrrre's Ewan! "In many ways Doctor Sleep overcame the obstacles of the book-movie adaptation, but was ultimately hindered by how weak the book was in comparison with the legacy of The Shining..." For more from Emily Shears, see the full Doctor Sleep review: bit.ly/DoctorSleepFilm
