À propos de ce film

DOCTOR SLEEP DIRECTOR'S CUT comprend de nouvelles scènes et des passages alternatifs/allongés inédits. DOCTOR SLEEP est la suite de l'histoire de Danny Torrance, 40 ans après les événements terrifiants de Shining. Traumatisé de manière irrémédiable par son passage à l'Overlook, Dan Torrance s'est battu pour trouver un semblant de paix. Mais celle-ci vole en éclats lorsqu'il rencontre Abra, une courageuse adolescente possédant son propre pouvoir extrasensoriel, le "Shining". Ayant découvert instinctivement que Dan possède le même pouvoir, Abra se confie à lui et demande son aide contre l'impitoyable Rose et sa tribu, le Nœud Vrai. Formant une alliance, Dan et Abra s'engagent dans un combat de vie ou de mort contre Rose. L'innocence d'Abra et la façon dont elle utilise le Shining sans hésiter poussent Dan à utiliser ses pouvoirs comme jamais auparavant, faisant face à ses peurs et réveillant les fantômes du passé.

Notes et avis

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.
