Overall, Doctor Sleep is pretty good. Although the film is a bit dull and long, the director's cut was released at 180 minutes, which is even longer, but the 180-minute increase is only the length and details of some dialogues. I finally know Why is it deleted to more than 150 minutes, otherwise the dialogue is really too long.
This film integrates the movie "The Shining" and Stephen King's novel as much as possible, and it is not easy to integrate the two into "Doctor Sleep". When I saw this movie, many plots were similar. For example, the ability of the little girl was very similar to that of the little 11 in "Stranger Things", which is not surprising. After all, "Stranger Things" was also born out of Stephen King. the world, so the similarity is certain. And our male protagonist has been unhappy and painful all these years. The shadow of the hotel has been haunting him. He wants to avoid it, but he is drunk and decadent. In the end, he bravely faced it and walked out, but the movie is still very interesting. A lot of ink goes to his abstinence and decadence. The beginning of the quit drinking promo was a bit boring.
The horror of the film is not very scary, but some scenes are still amazing. For example, when the female villain uses her ability to find the little heroine, the sky drift is amazing, and the pain of death of this group of people is also shocking. The female villain is still very good, at least it gives people a feeling of disgust and anger, especially when she uses her abilities in a hurry, this shows that she has performed well.
I don't know if fans of "The Shining" will like this movie, but the final battle of this movie is simply a delight for those who have seen "The Shining". The tributes and reproductions in it are so wonderful. We re-entered the hotel again, and when the car entered the winding mountain road and the familiar and deep soundtrack instantly took us into the horrors of those decades ago, the director must also be a fan of The Shining. Anyway, I see the inheritance of the previous work, and I like it very much.
But the characters in The Shining in the movie are all looking for similar actors to play again. I am not very disgusted. After all, changing the head is more expensive and the issue of copyright portrait rights. It is more labor-saving and excusable. , It is also very interesting to see the original image in the mind of the replica.
Although the depth of the movie can't be compared with "The Shining", it is also a very good sequel and has gone its own way. The greater the ability, the more dangerous it is. Of course, it also allows those of us who have watched "The Shining" to better understand this worldview and the manifestation of The Shining's ability.
