“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.

Really great movieWorth it! Great writing and acting..G---ManScore: 5/5

Surprisingly good sequelI read the book years ago not even realizing it was the sequel for the shining at the time but constantly thinking through the book “man this is a lot like the shining” until it got to the part where it reveals it is the sequel. I was very excited when I found they were turning it into a movie. If I remember correctly they followed the book very closely. Great watch.Qcooper719Score: 5/5

Fantastic!!!When I first saw the trailer for this film I thought the movie was gonna be just another movie continuation that is not so great. But after going finishing the movie I was very surprised by how good the movie was. This movie was filled with a lot of thrills along the way. That really kept you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what was gonna happen next. The movie was also filled with lots of characters you could really feel for or relate too from some points in your life. Overall this movie did a great job at making a continuation of The Shining. And you could really tell the filmmakers put a lot of work into it. And I’ll have to give it 5 stars..PINEAPPLE🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍Score: 5/5

Great movie !Really impressed with this movie. One of the best movies of the year..Armyof1979Score: 5/5

Fantastic!I really liked this movie. I can’t say how it compares to the book, since I never finished reading the book. It’s absolutely ingenious how this movie recreates scenes, characters and even camera shots from the movie The Shining, while adding a few things from Stephen King’s novel The Shining that were not included in the original movie. It is a very long movie (I watched the director’s cut, which runs three hours) but it is never boring and always interesting and entertaining. And since I never finished reading the book, I had no idea what was coming next. A great film, probably my favorite film from 2019..Reckia6Score: 5/5

Just amazingIt brings the best of one, thinking that we all possess something that makes us shine, but we hide it due to our own fears.Wgarcia23Score: 5/5

Made for tv movieIt was ok. The child torture part was disgusting and could have been left out. Not a fan of the saw movies either. But besides that it was a good popcorn movie. I think it would have made a better tv series instead..LcempjScore: 3/5

Not badBetter than it has any right to be. Shot well. Passable storyline. Ewan is great as always..LucradisteScore: 3/5

Very disturbingThis movie was a huge let down. I was expecting so much more as the Shining is a classic. This seemed to have nothing to do with it. The beginning started off good, there was a scene in the Overlook. Then it took awful turn. There were what appeared to be vampire like creatures the fed on the “steam” of children they kill. One scene shows them killing a child. That’s where we drew the line, we got up & left. Not even half way through. Others did too. One mother was literally shaking she was crying so hard. Do not see this movie, it was a huge let down & extremely upsetting. Anyone who sees it & enjoys it has got to be a disturbed individual. Awful! I gave it one star because it would not let me post the review without rating it. It deserves no stars or if negative stars were a thing, I’d give it as many of those as I could..Amil_lionScore: 1/5

A solid continuation of The Shining.The director does a fantastic job of combining the adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s very layered masterpiece of The Shining. He and Stephen King could not see less eye to eye on the film but it remains the best adaptation of a Stephen King story, other than Shawhshank Redemption that was also great because of how it was adapted. The Director of Doctor Sleep marries the Shining film vision of Kubrick with Kings vision of this new chapter beautifully. The story has the usual youth innocence lost to dark entities theme. From movies like Stand by Me, to IT, Stephen King has a obsession with youth being harmed. Something that is quite unsettling about Stephen King to me. But I will assume his intentions are pure and for fiction only so I digress. The 3 hour director cut is fantastic. The only thing I would have done differently is provide a much stronger reason for the overlook hotel being involved again other than, well it’s an evil place. If that was done better it would be a near perfect film. I bought it and definitely love it for my collection..BillyarchosScore: 4/5

Really good movieI regret not seeing this in the threater, it was so good!!.SpyridusScore: 4/5

Amazing and well doneI saw this film twice in theatre and would have gone a third time if the new disney film of the month hadnt kicked it out. Will definitely be buying it for my collection. Loved how the story built upon and added so much to the world of the shinning. Perhaps not as horrifying as The Shinning but just as memorizing..BanzaiasawrusScore: 4/5

Dr Sleep director's cut audio mis-encodedThe Dr Sleep Director's Cut version's audio is mis-encoded: the front and back channels sound like they have been swapped. So twig snaps are clear and loud, but dialog is muted.Guest 2012Score: 1/5

Mike Flanagan may be the best director of all timeEven Mike Flanagan’s early work, like Oculus, is quite good; but when you watch his more recent works, like this movie, and the Haunting of Hill House, you see how much he has grown, and continues to grow, as a director. He has a keen understanding of the human condition; and his treatment of profound topics like space, time, love, and the nature of reality itself adds a depth to his projects that make me think he may very well be developing into the best director of all time..Sunshine0262Score: 5/5
