Movie Doctor Sleep (The Shining 2)

[Sonny Bonds]

7th November.

Looking forward to this. Good to see the Overlook Hotel is back.

Danny Torrance is all grown up (Ewan Mcgregor) helping out a young girl with her Shining abilities. Dick Hollorann (Overlook Cook) also makes a return. All the original Shining moments as a young Danny have been re shot, with the exception of the elevator blood scene.

RedRum.

The Shining is one of my all time favourite movies. I'll go and see this but the trailer was meh.

Agree with the trailer. I think the nostalgia will make it enjoyable though.

They're angling really heavily into making this The Shining 2 from the looks however the book was pretty sparing in its overall callbacks. Still, it's a solid story and an enjoyable novel so whatever it takes to get bums in seats.

It's getting incredible reviews, I think.

Personally I'm not a fan from the trailer, especially the way they've chosen to shoot this film. It doesn't look anything like what I imagined a sequel to The Shining would be.

Enjoyed it. Well written, and good performances from the leads Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson and Kyliegh Curran. Just was slightly too long and got a bit silly at the end.

Spoiler

Why didn't they just shoot the hat lady like they shot the others?

But well worth a look.

7/10

I loved it. Close to my favourite movie of 2019.
