Still tormented by the past's uncomfortable memories, decades after surviving the harsh winter at the Overlook Hotel in The Shining (1980), it's only natural that a now-sad Dan Torrance has grown up into an alcoholic and a drifter. However, after managing for years to suppress his rare gift, Dan decides to put "The Shining" to good use as the local hospice's benevolent "Doctor Sleep"; and before he knows it, he makes contact with Abra Stone: a young girl with far more superior shining abilities. But, their strong telepathic bond attracts the attention of the semi-eternal psychic vampire, Rose the Hat, and her marauding gang of followers known as "The True Knot", who prey on the innocent, and feed off the effervescent essence of pain. Now, once more, the restless and famished spirits of Colorado's snow-capped purgatory in the mountains invite Dan over for one last winter. Does Danny dare to return to Room 237?.

Once upon a time, there was The Shining, and it was great. Never thought I'd see any of that hotel again. Then came Ready Player One, with a great tribute. Finally Stephen King himself wrote a very good sequel, and of course I hoped for a movie. A great cast, and some great callbacks to the Shining. Not everyone will love it, but I did. My second favourite movie of 2019, and better than It Chapter 2.
Doctor Sleep as a novel is not one of my favourite King books, so I had my reservations about this film adaptation but a lot of that was assuaged by the director, who is an affirmed King fan and GETS a lot of King's work better than several other adaptors
The film has a challenge right from the start, which is trying to link both to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and Stephen King's novel "The Shining. two stories which, whilst obviously sharing setting and basic plot, are massively different in their character execution and general themes. Kubrick's The Shining is undoubtedly a masterpiece of film making, but it's not a good adaptation of Stephen King's "The Shining. which leaves "Doctor Sleep" in a precarious position, trying to draw on emotional connections between the deceased Jack Torrance and Danny that just aren't present in Kubrick's film.
It's further challenged by the public's assumption that it will be a horror. I maintain that Stephen King isn't a horror writer - he's a fantasy writer and character builder whose characters often undergo horrific things. Again, with this loss of character development in Kubrick's film and the emphasis on tension and terror, this being marketed as a direct sequel was a massive mistake, given that it's basically a sci-fi / fantasy flick with a few horrific moments
BUT. All that aside, I think Doctor Sleep handles the content very well. There are some fantastic sequences that perfectly encapsulate King's hyper-metaphorical style in a way that I haven't seen done to such great effect before (rummaging through the drawers is a particular highlight. And whilst the ending differs massively from the book, it nearly brought me to tears in the way it tried to do justice to the ending of "The Shining. the book - which never made it to the screen.
I can see why people who've only experienced the film of The Shining would find this a lacklustre sequel. Aside from the penultimate 10 minutes (which just tries to tour all of the buzz-spots from Kubrick's film) it references King's book far more than Kubrick's film, and this is going to be confusing and disconnecting for people not familiar with the source material. But as an avid fan of the film and the book of the Shining - and NOT a massive fan of the book "Doctor Sleep. I thought it was done very, very well.
