STEPHEN KING'S DOCTOR SLEEP: LE (BD/S) [Blu-ray] [2019] [Region Free]

It is Long. But then again so are all Stephen Kings Books.Yes it is a little slow for the first 30 minutes.Soon changes up a Gear into a Thrilling Horror Movie.I haven't Read it. But I did read The Shining a long time ago.Danny Torrence is in a bit of a Mess. Something to do with his Dad?It's a Complete Offshoot to The Shining.Flash Back Scenes to The Shining do not contain Original Actors (Perhaps they are Asleep?)The thing about The Shining, in My opinion it is one of the Best Horror Films ever made. Something to do with Kubrick being at the Helm?Doctor Sleep Standing alone really is an enjoyable Movie.If you haven't watched The Shining get it.Couple of slight flaws, it is not in DTS HD Master Audio, the Dolby Soundtrack is Good. And when you stop the Disc it revertes to the beginning upon Restart. Just use the Pause and keep your eye on the Chapter you are Viewing. No Probs.Had a quick watch of the Extras, they are O.K.I have even watched the Directors Cut (Disc 2), 30 Mins extra. I only picked up one extra scene?Time for another watch of The Directors Cut.Doctor Sleep really is a Good Film.

Had a bit of everything for everyone, the old school shining crowd will get the well done nods to old stars and they avoided using CGI to send everyone into uncanny valley, really top notch method acting. I liked the use of classic camera angles and some modern takes too, all in all is was a darn good horror/chiller movie that took a while to get going but I quite like that, it does not try and rush the viewer into plot lines, it lets them enter slowly and creates a nice blanket of story that draws you in and suspends your disbelief. Holly wood has been pumping out some atrocious political garbage over the last 10 years and I hope this and Dune spark the beginning of going back to making movies people want to watch again.

Because of the impending release of Doctor Sleep on Blu-ray/DvdI did, because I thought it would link and make sense of this film again, watch the film The Shining a few weeks back.........This film split into six chapters starts off just after The Overlookexperience for Danny and his mother, both still haunted by the events that occurred in the hotel that relived its memories.At that time we see a glimpse of 'The True Knot' a cult/group of vampires led by Rose The Hat (Rebecca Ferguson) who survive by feeding off the power of a dying abductee's who possess the gift of Shining.30 years pass, Danny (Ewan McGregor) is now virtually a drop-out, an alcoholic, after stealing money from a young mother he'd slept with, Danny (Dan) gets another visit from a ghost from the past Hallorann (Carl Lumbly) and realising he could sink no further moves to a small town in New Hampshire where he is befriended by a man who sees Dan as troubled, Billy (Cliff Curtis), he helps Dan set up with a place to live and guidance from friends who have had problems with stuff like drink.In the apartment there is a wall, a virtual blackboard, Dan begins to receive messages in chalk, realising they are from someone who like himself has the gift he starts a conversation in chalk.Meanwhile, the group/cult continue all these years on to abduct feed off and kill youngsters with the gift,the numbers of which are becoming fewer, Rose picks-up on the hugely talented and resourceful Abra (Kayleigh Curran) who is Dan's blackboard friend and will become the sinister cults next target.Abra who has had visions of the cults attack on their recent victimseeks out Dan to ask for his help in stopping them, Dan though explaining the shared gift with her is reluctant to get involved.However, with Abra's convincing guidance of where evidence can be located, Dan with his these days best-friend Billy will investigate her claim.Obviously a showdown will occur, though the final one will be at the obvious venue.Must admit with the inclusion of vampire's in Stephen King's follow-upto the 1980 classic film wasn't what I expected, however, it was hugely more enjoyable than I'd anticipatedCertainly holds your attention.Have to say the casting of characters such as young Dan, his mum and indeed Hallorann was pretty good.The film with Its sinister plot is I feel well worthy of a viewing at the very least ...

Fabulous homage to Kubrick's masterpiece. No acknowledgement was surprising. Cast very well, but Jack Torrance needed more of Nicholson's voice, ONLY because it so famous. Music, cinematography, exceptional. Kept to the surreal and not overloaded with special effects. Felt like actual scenes from The shining were edited in. Not necessary to have watched The Shining before, but having done so (it's certainly a cult classic worthy of a watch), I really loved the scenes that flowed effortlessly from it, into this sequel. It was also special knowing why the maze, the boiler room etc, that Danny chose to lure The Hat in to. Really enjoyed. Well done Mike Flannagan *****

It's a long movie but boy was it good! I really enjoyed how they tied the Shining and this new chapter together - DR Sleep also has enough newness of characters and plot to be a great sequel and stand alone movie. ITs been a looong time since I watched the Shining, but I didn't feel like I had missed anything by not watching it again before this. I felt the creativity involved in developing the world of 'the shining' was particularly good. Plenty of jumpy and nail-biting, oh no! moments .

As a big fan of The Shining from 1980 (yes ! I know! ) I gave this movie a watch. It was ok considering it is too long, time passed reasonably quickly. However I will probably never watch it again, unlike the Shining which I have watched at least a dozen times. It seems to me they just cashed in on the Shining and stole ideas and themes from this movie to make a fairly poor ‘sequel’. On the positive side Rebecca Ferguson is really good, as usual, and the story eventually gets going after a slow start with the appearance of a young girl Kyliegh Curran, who also plays well. A big disappointment was Ewan McGregor who seems to be sleep walking through the performance.Not a complete disaster but a little bit weak. My rating three stars.
