Doctor Sleep (2019)
Spyro Rating: 4,0 /10 as "Not easy to watch"
Director: Mike Flanagan
Stars: Ewan McGregor, Kyliegh Curran, Rebecca Ferguson, Cliff Curtis
I did not expect I would rank a movie under "5" on the blog because usually I don't go through the end with movies that just are not made for me. This time I was really curious to see which things will be explained in the end of 2 hours and 30 minutes. Doctor Sleep is adapted from a Stephen King novel that is the sequel to another novel which in its turn became a well-known movie: The Shining (1980).
There is a reason I like The Shining but I don't like Doctor Sleep and it has nothing to do with the absence of Kubrick and Nicholson. Simply put I just fail to find the scrip to be appealing. It feels as if this movie was made only for people who wasted last 39 years of their lives pushing their imagination to cover some plot holes in The Shining.
In Doctor sleep, Jack Nicholson's kid has grown up and turned to be Ewan McGregor. The plot has to do with some people having weird abilities and when they die a "shining" in a "steam" form comes out of their body. The bad guys are grouped and like to inhale death steams of others so they can get high. After two hours in the movie we get to see the hotel from The Shining as both movies are supposed to be connected.
