I loved the scene but it was a disservice to kill off Danny, in the novel, he goes back to work at the hospice, has been sober for 15 years, and continues to use his “shine” to comfort the dying elderly and show then memories of their childhoods/loved ones, as well as assure them that “we do not end”, allowing them to die in peace, hence the title “Doctor (Doc) Sleep”

[@guitarman0365]

the only thing I did not really care for was the stand in for Jack at the end. Just no impact for me. The actress that did Shelley's part fucking nailed it, how she could not over act the impression of Shelley's overacting was mindblowing ha. I don't know I just feel that with the massive improvement in deaging tech I was hoping they would get Nicholson back at least for the voice aspect and do some tricks not to make him look as he does now. No insult to that actor though but he just could never recapture Jack's presence.

[@aarondoodles3380]

Damn Fergusons demeanor is so hot

[@stopgeorge]

I'd have to disagree. Rebecca Ferguson was pretty forgettable to me -- as was the film. Poor "do too much" movie-making -- especially when compared against the more measured masterpiece that was The Shining.

@@abramsullivan7764 I was disappointed in the IT films. CGI jump scare cartoons aren't scary & Muschietti applies every horror cliche. One was stronger than Two, which was laughable, cliched nonsense. Two hours of characters walking into dark rooms waiting for the jump scare. Really bad. A shame. The TV series nailed the dread & horror.

Tbh at first i get no expectations with the movie, but i agree with stephen. The movie feels like homage to both stephen king and stanley kubrick. It does stand of it’s own and does not force the movie to be “kubrick”-y. It’s really thrilling in its own way.

[@soloharmonicsrobj8246]

@@jonoeschger1552 Good point, the mini series was much closer to the novel. Jack for example, was not a psycho as Nicholson portrayed in the Kubrick film. More so, a troubled father struggling with the love for his family, alcoholism and his temperament issue in relation to his troubled teaching career. The supernatural, (evil nature) feeds on negativity and attempts to divide and conquer. I too can be a sensitive and I've had a few likewise experiences myself. Believe it or not, It's real.

The Eyes Of The Dragon (medieval fairy tale written for King's daughter, I believe it's his best book), It (Pennywise the clown is iconic for a reason), Cell (a techno-thriller as only Stephen King could write one), Christine (oldie but a goodie about a possessed car), Skeleton Crew (short stories, some of which are among King's best work), and the Dark Tower books (series of eight Western-fantasy-horror-science fiction-crime story-metafiction hybrids that basically codified the "New Weird" style of writing that became popular in the '90s). The Stand, 'Salem's Lot and Insomnia also reference the Dark Tower books, as most of King's work takes place in the same universe.

[@Ssssssnakeisone]

Listened to the audiobook, haven't seen the movie. It's funny hearing Mr. King announce what people will say about it, because that's exactly what I said about it. I've read almost all of his books, and Dr. Sleep is the only one I'm aware of that feels as if it's a cash grab. He has been at times less inspired, but never deliberately dumb in the ways Dr. Sleep displays. There are things to appreciate, but it is ham-handed and juvenile in many places. Movie will undoubtedly par the material and birdie the presentation.
