“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.

Meh... it fails miserably as a sequel to the Stanley Kubrick masterpiece. The "energy vampires" are lame and seemingly have a sole purpose in the film as a motivator to get Danny Torrence to return back to the hotel and even worse, the ending of the movie is revealed halfway through the film (hospice room seen) and it really robs you of any intrigue you might have for the story/charature development. Not a terrible movie but i just expect more from a supernatural thriller

It's okay... Probably not the sequel some were hoping for. The thing is, even though it isn't bad there's nothing outstanding about it. Only two moments got a reaction out of me, when Danny returns to the hotel (I smiled due to nostalgia) and when that baseball boy was being killed, that was terrifying and the most terrifying part of the movie. Other than that, nothing exciting happens.

I didn't like it. The production values were high but I didn't care for the stupid "Mighty Morphine Power Rangers" of evil. I didn't like the way they killed kids either. I'm not a softy I just thought that added nothing of substance to the film. The movie should have been more of a creepy psychological movie of overcoming mental breakdown rather than a horror X-Men movie. This movie was just too "Hollywood" for me. It is has nothing I. Common with the original in my opinion.
