But, before you get angry with me and stop reading let me say even though there is a tremendous lack of horror, <em>Doctor Sleep<\/em> is still a &#8216;see it&#8217; for fans of <em>The Shining<\/em>. Which one, you ask Kubrick\u2019s or King\u2019s? Both.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Years following the events of &#8220;The Shining,&#8221; a now-adult Dan Torrance meets a young girl with similar powers as he tries to protect her from a cult known as The True Knot who prey on children with powers to remain immortal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Much like <em>IT: Chapter 2 <\/em>(also not scary), <em>Doctor Sleep<\/em> is literally hauntingly beautiful. There are shots during the characters &#8220;shining&#8221; moments that are dare I overuse this term are breathtaking. Director Mike Flanagan and his cinematographer. Michael Fimognari have a done a pretty amazing job with the visuals of this film. Flanagan manages to intertwine the shine moments with reality in an impressive cohesive way.<\/p>\n<p>Reusing Kubrick\u2019s heartbeat sound effect to indicate when, Rose the Hat, leader of The True Knot is with a person with the shine (or generally when someone is shining) is disturbing, as well as arresting (no pun intended). The sound also manages to make us the audience extremely anxious. It also indicates when their shine\/life is dying.<\/p>\n<p>Although, I didn&#8217;t read <em>Doctor Sleep &#8211; <\/em>the book &#8211; I know it&#8217;s King\u2019s follow up to his version of<em> The Shining<\/em> and it is not necessarily based on Kubrick&#8217;s version. However, I did read King&#8217;s book version and I know this is blasphemy, but I like Kubrick&#8217;s version better. I commend Flanagan for trying and doing a rather successful job of bridging the two visions.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-328\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/doctor_sleep_ewan_mcgregor.jpg?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ewan_McGregor\">Ewan McGregor<\/a> stars as grown up Danny Torrance. He embodies the complete disaster of the adult that Danny was bound to grow up to be. It is interesting to see what happened to Danny and how he and his mother&#8217;s lives continued after the events at The Overlook.<\/p>\n<p>Flannigan again tries for reconcile Kubrick&#8217;s <em>Shining<\/em> by casting <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alex_Essoe\">Alex Essoe<\/a> as Wendy Torrance. She does resembles Shelley Duvall. Essoe does a sufficient job as Wendy, but at the same time it is jarring at first when you realize and remember this isn&#8217;t Duvall. The same goes for Henry Thomas as Jack Torrance and again with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carl_Lumbly\">Carl Lumbly<\/a> as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dick_Hallorann\">Dick Hallorann<\/a>.

Abra is strong, willful and she&#8217;s awesomely fearless. Rose is a good villain and you somewhat find yourself wanting to know more of her backstory. However, the scenes between Rose and Abra are so watered down, it is kind of beyond me why this film has anything other than a PG-13 rating. But I think the entire cast does the best they can with the material they have.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the film honestly as stated is not scary, I&#8217;m not even sure it rises to a thriller, certainly not in any traditional sense. The last act of the film attempts to change that vibe, by taking us back to Kubrick&#8217;s Overlook with bartender Lloyd (also Henry Thomas), creepy zombie lady from room 237, dead eyed twins and the death maze and all. This part of the film is great to watch, especially if you are all knowing about everything <em>The Shining<\/em>. Again, Flannigan does a good job of recreating the hotel and reminding you of the events that took place there. However, the recreation isn\u2019t as horrifying as it was on our previous visit to The Overlook.<\/p>\n<p>As I always say I feel these types of films deserve a second or third watch, before you make final judgements. <em>Doctor Sleep<\/em> is certainly worthy of a trip to the theater and those rewatches.<\/p>\n<p><em>Doctor Sleep<\/em> is in theaters today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directed by: Mike Flanagan Written by: Stephen King (based on the novel by), Mike Flanagan (screenplay) Runtime: 2h 31min Rating: R Our Rating:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"\u2018Doctor Sleep\u2019 - A Beautiful, Imperfect Un-Horrifying Revisit to the Overlook  (HF Review).
