About this movie

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.

Somehow, demon spiritualists sucking the life force out of individuals who 'shine' and recreating scenes from 'The Shining' fails to deliver. At least, in 'The Shining', we feel for the family, being isolated in a hotel, built on top of an Indian burial ground, giving the film, it's chilly psychological horror and suspense. Watch the uncut version of 'The Shining' in order to better understand Danny's condition before watching 'Doctor Sleep'. This film will gaurantee you zzzzzz for 3hrs at least

Very good. Would have been nice to have a bit of cgi Jack as apposed to a look alike, some thing subtle not like Carrie Fisher in starwars just a glimps... For continuity.

I came into this film expecting a fun ride, some good effects and decent performances. I left bowled over by its pacing, performances and writing. The three hours flew by and the writing tied into the Shining to make the plot organically call back to it instead of just shameless nostalgia which I was scared it might be.
