Although as a sequel to The Shining, everyone should acquiesce that this is a horror film, I think it may be more inclined to a fantasy and cool film with horror elements (
I can count on one hand the thrillers I've seen in my twenty years of life, let alone pure horror.
The only one I've ever seen is probably The Shining, and then I replayed it again for the number one player, so Doctor Sleep was released in Po County, and I watched it completely. I saw some comments before I saw that it was a superhero movie that was not scary, and I was secretly delighted. I am definitely not a horror movie fan, and I have never read the original novel. It is purely for the curious movie feeling, not scary, just right.
It may be because I lowered my expectations, so I was really pleasantly surprised after reading it. Except that the old Shining characters in it didn't use the original actor's face to make me quite playful, and I found a lot of tributes to the Shining movies when I watched it for the first time. Especially after the second review and the tribute review of the number one player and Toy Story 4, the classic scenes are almost clear to me, so the jump scare in it is not so scary to me, and even the bgm of the Panorama Hotel comes out. I was so warmly excited.
The movie took more than two hours, and many people felt that the front was too slow, but I felt that the plot in front of the Panorama Hotel was more exciting and fun. In the first half, it was very simple to take a look at Danny's mother and son's daily life and Danny's nightmare after escaping from the Panorama Hotel. The nightmare continued until dick privately taught Danny how to better control the Shining to lock up those "evil spirits", and then the camera turned and we saw that the adult Danny was addicted to alcohol and tossed and turned, but finally because of his own Shining ability. Cheer up in the hospital. There are two lines on the other side, the growth of the most powerful new Shining Abra in the contemporary era and a group of "undead". The setting of the "undead" who live by eating Shining is too --- I really can't avoid it? Think of all kinds of goblins that sucked essence/yang in ancient China! The hi-hi scene was once very green snake (not)
Tucao, although immortality is very attractive, the ethnic group is too fragile! ! The first wave of encounters was directly destroyed by the two protagonists. After a few wounds, they were instantly wiped out. This is even more fragile than a vampire.
During the viewing process, I laughed out loud several times. The plot picture is really like an adult version of Stranger Things. I even felt that the horror of watching the first season of Stranger Things by myself in bed a few years ago was stronger than this. In the middle and later stages of the movie, the display of Shining ability (mainly during the mutual testing of Rose and Abra), the consciousness library and aerial detection of consciousness transmission and other magical skills, the picture is very magical, and instantly travels through Harry Potter, Doctor Strange and other studios, Well, it's still more like Stranger Things' Little Eleven... Although, it looks cool, and I regret it because I'm afraid of buying the seat too late.
Abra's little sister and the "undead" front bar caused both losses, so Danny finally decided to take her back to his childhood nightmare: the Panorama Hotel. That is, the last half hour of the movie, which is where we can see a lot of Shining tributes, the room where Danny once lived, the door of the room still retains the way it was broken by an axe, and the redrum written with lipstick is still there. On the door. Danny's expression when he brought his face close to the split door... Even Danny's rolling down the stairs and running with an axe in the back perfectly replicate the classic scene in The Shining. (By the way, because even the grandmother with the number one player and the bathroom made me desensitized because she appeared too much, and even thought she was a bit cute)
It's just that watching the movie still feels that the plot is a bit forced, and I went back to reproduce the Shining Hotel. And the fragility of this undead is actually I can't see how strong Rose can be who sucks more cans of gas. Is it really necessary to go back to the Panorama Hotel? It seems that the original book means reincarnation and destiny, because I haven't read it, so I can't judge who should bear these discordant cauldrons. But since Turismo is mysterious, well, I can understand the logic error. Anyway, it's pretty cool to watch. If I go to China, I'll probably play it twice.
