![]() ![]() When I heard that news of Flanagan attempting to blend the two, I was excited.Īs I sat down to watch the movie, though, I was disappointed with the miniscule references to The Overlook Hotel, the only location to “The Shining.” I imagined the film would have more of Danny Torrance (Ewan McGregor) struggling to come to terms with the demons that The Overlook Hotel left with him. Kubrick’s “The Shining” is one of my favorite movies, and I’m currently reading the original novel by Stephen King. I went into this movie truly hoping to enjoy it. Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of “Doctor Sleep” does not live up to the hype of Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining.” If the names Sandy Reynolds and Lucy Stone mean nothing to you, then you should walk out of the theater because this is not the movie you were hoping it would be. ![]() While considered a classic, ‘The Shining’ was not well recieved upon release. ![]() ‘Doctor Sleep’ has a 74% Rotten Tomoatoes score, while both Stephen King books earned a four out of five on Goodreads. ![]()
