DOCTOR SLEEP DIRECTOR'S CUT features new and alternate/extended scenes not seen in theaters. 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. 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.

I missed it in the theaters and ended up buying the director's cut. So not sure what was cut but to my surprise this version has a lot of the Shining revisited and explored. Took a day to process but definitely loved it. Interesting story and characters, plus the soundtrack, mystery and horror kept me glued. Flanagan clearly a big fan, does a good job continuing the story to please both Kubrick and King fans.

I have to admit that I was less than enthusiastic when I learned about a sequel to The Shining. What could Stephen King possibly add to that story? Right? So wrong. I was absolutely blown away by the theatrical version of Doctor Sleep and if I were to choose 3 words to describe it: Genius, brilliant, perfect. Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, and Kyliegh Curran are excellent. Mike Flanagan did something really amazing here! You wouldn't want to miss this!

I read and watch Stephen King great mind
