About Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep:
#DoctorSleep 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.”

that scene where they torture Jacob's character, goosebumps. it was a movie but his screams sounded so real. he is an incredible actor.

[@nijohn12]

He sounded soo scared I hated it but it was soo well done. Omfg

[@natwalsh2710]

Ikr and it scared me. And made me feel even more bad for his character. I read the book before seeing the movie and it was pretty accurate when it came to the torture scene

Jacob Tremblay did a PHENOMENAL job as “baseball boy” and his tragic, horrific death scene. I really didn’t expect them to show it like that. Jacob was so convincing at being in complete fear.

[@jaymum23]

If you know Jacob and his work, it’s not surprising. He’s the best actor of his generation. At the time I was just becoming aware of him so the scene was delightfully shocking. I’ve been a big fan of his for years.

[@patriot4780]

@@jaymum23 I hate seeing little children get hurt, and Jacob did a phenomenal job of selling being in terror and excruciating pain, so when Rose was feeling the pain of her cohorts toward the end of the movie, I smiled because she was finally getting hers, and I hoped that she was feeling every bit of the pain and terror that she had inflicted on the young boy.

@@mrnukes797 they did it the way they did here bc the original Shining movie changed the ending as well.

[@dannyjp-diego2938]

Mike looks so relaxed.... even having to carry the weight, of adapting elements of King's work, and also being a continuation of the Shining.... he´s such a creative man, and also looks so relaxed with the project.

@KZbin Worm yeah I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it I even liked it more than the shining because in the Kubrick version it didn’t explore the shining and how Jack should’ve been redeemed

[@s-sentialbizness7283]

@KZbin Worm Perhaps people got the impression that this was probably a Shining reboot rather than a sequel (at least those that never read the Doctor Sleep novel) I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to see it if that was the case , lol. At least Stephen King himself seemed to enjoy this one (unlike the original Kubrick version...)

[@simonedwards9450]

This is one of my all time favourite Stephen King adaptations, up there with Shawshank and Carrie

Because it wasn't named the Shining 2. It would've been a dumb title but it definitely would've attracted more people.

[@helenapamponet9859]

I absolutely loved this. I might be getting a little too involved in Mike Flanagan's work process, and have been eating up everything I can get my hands on about it. He's a true inspiration for someone that, like myself, is trying to get into the movie business. He's great at tossing our emotions all around the movie, and this is the kind of horror that always gets me. I'm starting to call it "emotional horror", which seems accurate to me. I hope his projects get more attention, he surely deserves it.

[@RoseisoutofherTOGA]

[@dannyjp-diego2938]

He looks so friendly in the set, and he feels so comfortable with the proyect.

[@valentinogal781]

There is just something so terrifying about the subject matter in a Steven King novel. For many people this movie or the shinning were not that scary. But the central theme and the characters really are terrifying. I didn't think there would be anyone brave or skilled enough to take up the Stanley Kubrick mantel, but then I remembered Geralds Game and how Mike Flanagan stayed as close to the book as he could and adding his own brilliance to it. So when I saw the trailer to this movie and saw that Mike Flanagan was directing it I was overjoyed. The man is a brilliant director and really knows how to convey everything about a story through the lense.

[@ghostmysteries971]

When I first watched this movie I felt the pain of watching the little boy get killed but made it through. I laughed at how he had fun filming that scene, the people that were killing him couldn't watch, lol.

[@RETRufO75]

It was only after seeing the director's cut that the film truly engaged me. Blew me away actually. It needed the pacing that 3 hours gave it. Wonderful. Avoid the theatrical cut is my advise.

Will do. I saw the studio version and still liked it, so I will look for the director's cut for sure.

[@jackdaniels2905]

Love the Apollo 11 shirt.

[@madieklos1733]

He actually came up with the plot of The Shining while staying at the Stanley Hotel. He had a horrible case of writer's block which disappeared after a nightmare about his child being chased down the hotel hallway by ghosts. I think if you can cure writer's block through your dreams, then you can also write amazingly terrifying bestsellers. Props to you Stephen... I 100% hope you keep it up.

[@robynmarieclarke3819]

[@GoTeamScotch]

I did not expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did. This is one of those movies where most directors would have stretched it into a trilogy and watered it down. There was so much going on and so many set pieces as multiple interesting characters. It was a really enjoyable film and a fun callback to the original. Criticism- I was upset Jack Nicholson didn't reprise his character. Even with de-aging CGI if needed. I was expecting it the whole movie. It's ok, but man I would have loved to have seen that.

Then a minute of solace in the realization that this is fiction, followed by a week of being horrified at the real-world metaphor for kids that are victims of violence.

After all the pain, suffering, and fear that she and her cult had inflicted on others, I enjoyed seeing her finally get hers. What can I say? She reaped what she had been sowing.
