The origin of the Shining, the classic reappearance.

I give "Doctor Sleep" four stars. It may not be called a true sequel to The Shining, because the style is not so Kubrick, which may be the main reason for its low score; but honestly it may be more in line with Stephen King's expression. The rhythm of the film is not fast, there are no fancy editing, and a considerable amount of ink is used to describe the characters. This is what makes it different from ordinary horror films. The performances of several protagonists are remarkable. In the second half, there are several classic horror scenes, which are a tribute to "The Shining", which may be the reason why its score is not ridiculously low. . . The shades look comfortable and can be seen to want some kind of consistency. The special effects are mediocre, but not a terrible disadvantage for this kind of film. It's worth a look anyway.

Doctor Sleep quotes

  • Crow Daddy: [Crow Daddy realizes Dan Torrance is talking through the captive Abra] Who are you?

    Abra Stone: I'm the guy who killed your friends.

    Crow Daddy: [seething] It's nice to meet you. Neat trick. Haven't seen this one before.

    Abra Stone: Wanna see one more?

    [Crow Daddy reaches for his gun]

    Abra Stone: I don't imagine Rose will be too happy if you shoot the prize.

    Crow Daddy: I don't suppose Rose will be happy about any of this. And when that woman gets mad... well... seems to me you know enough to know you might wanna sit this one out. Count your blessings, go on your way.

  • Rose the Hat: What's in those? Something special, huh?

    Dan Torrance: They're not special, they're starving!
