![Stephen King’s: Doctor Sleep [2019]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81buB7CFaoL.jpg)

“Stephen King's 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, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality. 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. Review: I enjoyed it - A very good film Review: Great film, fab acting - I love this film, I can watch it fairly often as it's easy to watch, not too heavy or drawn out and some great characters/acting with enough action/activity to keep you engaged. Great way to follow on from the original.

BRILLIANT
This is a fantastic movie and a follow up fro m the 1980 film "THE SHINING." I think this would be a great addition to anyone's collec ion, well worth the money.

Great under rated movie
One star off as the cheapskates didn't include the directors cut blu ray , as they did on USA releases. Yet again this side of the world pays more for less. The 4 looks brilliant , but to be honest the directors cut on blu ray doesn't look much worse. If you are a fan, buy it mind you.

One of the best films ive seen in a long time
This is the follow on film from the shining with jack nickleson. I dont want to spoil it but this film is one of the best I have watched in a long time. The main character is the grown up son.... but im not telling you anything else. I highly recommend this film you won't be disappointed.

Great conclusion to a classic horror movie, for lockdown
The story starts decades after the horror in 'the Shining', where due to satanic influences Jack Torrents killed a man and died of exposure in the Overlook hotel grounds. Now grown, his son (Ewen McGregor) is in a poorly paid job. His psychic abilities are strong. A young girl (Kyliech Curran) also has this gift but in a far more potent form. She becomes aware of a group of child killers are around, lead by (Rebecca Ferguson). They all kill to receive food from the dying. The two psychics contact each other to pool resources to defend themselves and to save other child lives. What happens next? * Comment This film is disturbingly spooky to watch in places. The story is more complex than 'the Shining'. The film requires you to have seen 'the Shining' beforehand to make any sense of it. The previous film is referenced many times to flow the narrative through. It covers a lot of ground to fill the film story. All the cast are supportive. This film is a really good update to the story. The film has a lot of time and money spent on it, for example, the Overlook hotel at the latter end of the story. In my opinion, it's as good as the Kubrick version but in a different way.

Good but not brilliant.
This was entertaining enough, but if you'd not read the book and weren't going, 'hang on a minute, he isn't supposed to die...' every five minutes then it would have been even better. Certainly they did the effects well and for a very long and complex book they condensed it well. Not scary, but a mine of dark imagination and creativity... My main criticism would be that a lot of King's genius was lost in the rush to get to the huge, prolonged cinematic end of shock and pyrotechnics, after which it got a bit tedious. I like to continually find out more and more not sit through a really long ending. Also Rose the Hat is far too pretty - she is apple pie perfect wife and mother material (She was lizzie in the White Queen) whereas she should have been darkly beautiful and exquisitely sinister, with a single long tusk!!! Just saying... otherwise recommended.
