À propos de ce film

"Stephen King's 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, qui se nourrissent du Shining des innocents pour atteindre l'immortalité. 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

I wish I would have seen this in theaters. Mike Flanagan has really hit his stride with this one, admittedly I didn't expect much going in but this movie really just worked for me. It worked perfectly as an expansion to The Shining, even if you're not too familiar with Stephen King's universe. Some of the kills in the movie may disturb some though, so be aware. This is not your average jump scare fest, this movie sets a mood. Watch the extended cut if you can.

This isn't "The Shining" and you shouldn't expect it to be. It provides a good closing ark for Danny Torrence and continues the universe in a good, thrilling way. However, that tense and raw fear experienced throughout "The Shining" isn't prevalent in Doctor Sleep. Those wanting to see how the story of Danny Torrence is complete, while learning a few more things about Jack Torrence & his wife, you should watch this film. Overall though it's a good film & worth the watching.

I don't think anyone could've done such a brilliant job on a sequel as this director has done.... especially on such a classic by one of the greatest authors of all time Steven King
