Doctor movie Doctormovie villain, Doctor GOOGLE DRIVE... Rose the Hat, in her hat. Photo: Warner Bros. When writer and director Mike Flanagan got the green light to adapt Stephen King’s 2013 novel Doctor Sleep, he found himself in a unique situation. King’s book is a direct sequel to his 1977 novel The Shining, and most definitely not a direct sequel to the 1980 film directed by Stanley Kubrick, which King notoriously hated. Flanagan could have ignored his cinematic precedent, though remaining faithful to the book alone likely would have alienated a lot of movie fans. So instead, he opted to bridge the two, making his own version of Doctor Sleep. Naturally, this led to a number of significant departures from both the source material and Kubrick’s universe. Wondering how it all works? Let us guide the way. In short, both the Doctor Sleep book and film bring us back into the world of Dan Torrance (Ewan McGregor), whose father Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson in The Shining) lost his mind and found his axe at the infamous Overlook Hotel. Decades later, a still-traumatized Dan hits rock bottom and moves to a small New Hampshire town, where he holds a job at a hospice center and uses his shining powers (among them, his abilities to converse with the dead and telepathically connect to other people) to help elderly residents transition into the afterlife. Meanwhile, there’s Abra Stone (Kyliegh Curran), a young girl with even more powerful shining skills than Danny. She’s spotted by a group of cultish immortals who call themselves the True Knot and feed on the essence, or “steam, ” of people endowed with astral gifts. Led by Rose the Hat (Rebecca Ferguson), they set their sights on Abra, but Dan may be able to save her. Cue the second half of the movie, when things get a little complicated. Here’s an abbreviated list of the noticeable liberties taken by Flanagan in his hybrid sequel. Warning: Many spoilers follow! At the end of King’s The Shining, the Overlook Hotel exploded after Jack Torrance left the boiler room unmonitored. His wife Wendy, son Danny, and even Dick Hallorann were able to survive the wreckage, but the hotel does not. As a result, in King’s Doctor Sleep, the finale still takes place on the grounds of the Overlook, but by then it has been turned into a campground without any of the recognizable design details. Now, it didn’t exactly go down like that at the end of Kubrick’s film (spoiler: the hotel survives), which gave Flanagan the latitude to resurrect the iconic building and set his own climax there. In Doctor Sleep the film, psychic power duo Dan and Abra lure the movie’s primary villain, Rose, to the still-standing Overlook, where the ghosts that once haunted it rise up against the True Knot leader. Here we get a flood (see what we did there? ) of familiar imagery from Kubrick’s film that had no precedent in King’s books — like the elevator of blood and the super-creepy Grady Twins. The funny twist is that Flanagan gets to do what Kubrick didn’t: the 21st-century director uses a boiler room bit to finally blow up the Overlook. In the book, teenager Abra develops a purely psychic connection with Dan, and eventually “writes” her email address down during one of their communications (which, of course, involves the word “cadabra”) — and that’s how they meet in the real world. But in the film, after having witnessed the True Knot’s murder of a young boy, she decides she needs Dan’s help and simply psychically locates him using her shining gifts. This may seem like a minor change, but it proves to accentuate her strength, giving the viewer a sense that she can literally find someone using only the power of her mental GPS. No wonder the True Knot, starved for steam, thinks they can satiate their immortal urges by feasting on Adra’s shining alone. In King’s story, when the True Knot kills the “Baseball Boy, ” a. k. a. Bradley Trevor (Jacob Tremblay), they extract something other than steam. Unbeknownst to the cult members, the kid had measles, and it actually infects the True Knot, making their search for Abra one for a high-powered cure as much anything else. It was a nice twist in the book, but it might have felt like one subplot too many in an already-long film. Instead, Flanagan simply uses Abra’s awareness of Bradley’s death as a way of alerting both Dan and Rose to Abra’s immense powers. Ewan McGregor in Doctor Sleep. Photo: Jessica Miglio/Warner Bros. Flanagan’s version of Doctor Sleep events takes a drastic turn away from the source material when audiences realize there is no big Concetta Reynolds moment, the great-grandmother of Abra Stone. She’s only briefly referenced in the film when Abra’s mother goes to visit her on her deathbed. In the book, Dan Torrance actually helps Concetta die, by taking her “steam” — which includes the disease in her body — as she passes away. He later uses this cancerous steam to kill members of the True Knot in the book’s final scenes. Alas, none of that happens in the film. The elimination of Concetta Reynolds means there’s no major revelation about the connection between Dan and Abra in the movie. In the book, when Dan goes to visit Concetta, he learns that Abra’s mother is none other than Jack Torrance’s sister. Yes, the book’s version of Dan and Abra’s mom are half-siblings, which means that the character that Abra chooses to call “Uncle Dan” really is, well, Uncle Dan. This fact might have made it easier to understand why Abra and Dan maintain such a firm connection, and possibly even suggest that shining powers are hereditary, but without Concetta in the movie, who would have delivered that news? There’s a great scene in Flanagan’s movie, in which a very young Abra watches a magician playing with silverware and mimics the talent by pinning her spoons to the ceiling of her kitchen. But there are even more descriptions of Abra’s early displays of power in the book; a baby Abra basically predicts 9/11, lying in her crib screaming as the towers are hit, after she psychically projects the flight numbers into her parents’ dreams. Yeah, that might have been a little hard to pull off in the film. In the Doctor Sleep film, Flanagan regular Henry Thomas ( The Haunting of Hill House) plays a variation on the ghost of Jack Torrance, who tries to serve his son a drink while doing a quasi-Nicholson impression at the Overlook Hotel. That’s pretty much the extent of his impact in the movie. In the Doctor Sleep book, however, Jack Torrance plays a much greater role in the finale, even helping defeat Rose the Hat by pushing her off an observation platform to her death. In the end, he is seen waving to Dan as they leave the campgrounds, like the ghost of Anakin Skywalker at the end of Return of the Jedi. It’s hard to imagine this schmaltzy gesture working on film, as it’s already a little off-putting to watch anyone but Nicholson portray such an iconic character. The cameo works well enough in moderation. In Flanagan’s film, Billy (Cliff Curtis) and Dan ambush the True Knot prior to their final showdown at the Overlook Hotel, killing everyone but Rose in the process. However, this doesn’t happen in the book, leaving more members of Rose’s posse of immortals to defend the cult in the finale. While it might have been nice to see Zahn McClarnon’s Crow Daddy make it to the Overlook, keeping the epic climax to a scene between three central characters actually refines and tightens the ending. This involves Dan and Abra pulling Rose into an astral version of the Overlook’s hedge maze. But after Dan fails to trap Rose in one of his mind boxes (a Dick Hallorann trick from the Overlook days), Dan tells Abra to leave before he is overcome by the True Knot leader. As she consumes his steam, Dan unleashes the Overlook ghosts from his boxes, who then kill Rose. The downside to this plan: the ghosts maintain their hold on Dan, who turns against Abra. That’s when he, in a moment of lucidity, decides to return to the boiler room for the film’s explosive conclusion. In the Doctor Sleep film, we witness Dan kneeling in the boiler room of the Overlook as it bursts into flames. But later, he’s seen speaking to Abra in her bedroom where she talks of him “getting out. ” In the end, his fate is left slightly open to interpretation (and potential sequels): Is Dan dead, speaking to a child with a gift from the afterlife? Probably. Or is she speaking to a still-living Dan across the miles using her powers of astral projection? Dan regularly spoke to Dick Hallorann (Carl Lumbly), who died in Kubrick’s film but not in King’s novel; we were never meant to believe he was still alive in Flanagan’s film. We get hints of a similar psychic bond when Abra’s conversation with Dan ends with him “disappearing. ” However, the book version of Dan Torrance is happy and healthy, celebrating 15 years of sobriety at Abra’s 15th birthday party. Is Doctor Sleep a Faithful Sequel to The Shining?

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019 I found Doctor Sleep, based on the book by Stephen King and the sequel to The Shining, to be really, really good. This is directed by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) who has proven himself to be one of the great horror auteurs. (He previously adapted Stephen King's Gerald's Game, which was an impressive effort considering that it was mostly a person handcuffed to a bed. ) The pacing works really well for a movie running at two-and-a-half hours. The dialogue is some of the best flowing I've seen in a while. The cinematography and general look are also top notch. Horror fans, be forewarned that there are not that many scares. This time the main foe isn't ghosts, but the True Knot, psychic energy vampires. They're powerful, but they have basic human personalities and certain limitations. But, it's a really good story! You get to learn a lot more about the world of shining (psychic powers). The personal journey of psychic and recovering alcoholic Danny Torrence and his relationship with young shiner Abra (Kyliegh Curran) is interesting. What the True Knot lack in frightening appearances, they make up with being fleshed-out characters who make very dangerous antagonists. Though not the scariest film, this works really well as a dark tale. Also, scene where you see the True Knot in action is one truly scary moment that will stick with you. The leads, McGregor, Curran, and Rebecca Ferguson as the True Knot's leader Rose the Hat, all do an excellent job. (Yes, I concede the villain names are silly. ) However, McGregor's American accent doesn't sound quite natural. Also for flashback purposes and such, Flanagan got some very convincing actors to mimic the ones from the Shining. Remember when I said the pacing "mostly" works? The one weak point is reliance on nostalgia. The movie tries to be both an adaptation of Doctor Sleep but also stay true to the events specific to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Fans of the book could be disappointed by changes. Several of elements involving the previous movie work. But there are moments where it can't help but give direct "wink, wink" references to the original's scenes and shots. It feels forced and the cinematography feels off with the rest of the film. However, there is only a very small percentage of these elements in the movie. Mostly it is its own thing. Of the recent Stephen King movies (including the Netflix ones), this is my favorite. In fact, I think it's one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever made. Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019 Theater review. Possible spoilers. It’s been 39 years since poor 5 year old Danny Torrance escaped his father’s attempt to kill him and his mother in Colorado’s Overlook Hotel (“The Shining”). Stephen King’s novel is a direct sequel as is this film. Danny (Ewan McGregor) is now grown up, but is still haunted by those events decades ago. Living on the east coast he hasn’t much of a life. Drunk most of the time, he spends his time sleeping where and with whoever he can. He’s often comforted by the spirit of Dick Hallorann (Carl Lumbly replacing Scatman Crothers from “The Shining”). Danny, sometimes called Doc, decides to get on a bus and escape his current situation. He gets off in a small town in New Hampshire and is quickly befriended by Billy Freeman (Cliff Curtis) who runs a mini-version of the town square…uh, on the town square. Billy sees something in Danny that reminds him of himself years earlier. That is, an alcoholic in a desperate situation. Danny goes with Billy to an AA meeting and we jump forward 8 years and Danny is sober, working in a hospice. He has a strong version of telepathy that he calls the “shine. ” He’s able to help the dying patients comfortably make the transition to the afterlife. One day he’s greeted by a note written on a wall in his room from another with similar abilities. A 13 year old girl named Abra (newcomer Kyliegh Curran). Across the country in Iowa, a collective cult with range of psycho-powers called The True Knot are found, literally sucking the life out of children. First a 6-year old girl in a park, then in a horrific scene with a 10-year old boy played by Jacob Tremblay (“Good Boys”). A word of warning, this scene is cringe worthy, if not gory. Essentially, members of The True Knot, led by Rose the Hat (terrific Rebecca Ferguson) inhale the misty essence that is exhaled when people die. The greater the pain, the more powerful the essence. With this “food, ” the group’s members can have a life that can last centuries. Both the little girl and the boy have the "shine", so these are the people Rose and her herd seek out. Back in New Hampshire, Abra is sensing Rose and the True Knot’s evil. Abra has a powerful "shine" and even manages to get inside the head of Rose. When Rose feels the intrusion she is bent on finding the girl and absorbing her essence. This central part of the film is its most absorbing. The linkage to the Colorado is left behind. It becomes an excellent cat and mouse game. One with potentially deadly implications. We discover that while the True Knot can live forever theoretically, they can also be killed so they still have to be careful. With Abra’s prodding, Dan takes on a new role which is to eliminate the True Knot. He is assisted by Abra’s mental powers as well as some help from Billy. They will eventually collide leaving Dan and Abra having to combine their abilities against Rose. Dan believes to make the odds more in their favor, they need to lure Rose to the now closed Overlook Hotel in Colorado. Frankly that seemed to be unnecessary but then it reconnects the story back to “The Shining. ” What was once essentially a standalone film now takes on the effect of a true sequel. I have mixed feelings about it. The film is directed and written by Mike Flanagan (“Ouija: Origin of Evil” and TV’s “The Haunting of Hill House”) based on King’s book. He’s pretty good at horror films and this might be his best. One can nitpick about some of the elements – how is it Danny can remember the details of the Overlook Hotel as he was only 5 at the time? – but the film is still effective as a horror film made for grownups. Recommended. Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020 Verified Purchase IF YOU ARE STILL READING REVIEWS,... STOP,... RENT,... WATCH,... ENJOY,... & SHINE ON!!! Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2020 Verified Purchase If you like watching protracted scenes of a children being brutally tortured to death than this move is for you. I am appalled that this movie received so many positive reviews. True, the acting, the cinematography, dialog, etc. is good, but the entire thing was spoiled by showing, in excruciating detail, the torture of children. I am not at all squeamish, but this film goes TOO far. My wife and I turned it off halfway through and decided that it was better to eat the 6 bucks and not have to see/hear those images. The fact that this is the new normal is very disturbing. Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020 Verified Purchase I don't know why I always forget this fact - Stephen King's work does not translate well from page to film. "The Shining" was an exception because the screen-writer had the good sense to know what would not work in a movie. This one like most other films based on King's writing is not good. There is so much violence to children in this film - I found it unwatchable. I fast forwarded through several scenes where children are being victimized. What happened to King's writing (somewhere around "Pet Cemetery") that began involving violence to children. Of course this happens in the world, but it is NOT entertainment material. Hard pass on this film, and I'm not getting fooled again. No more films based on King's books. His HBO's "The Outsiders" is no better, and also involves horrible violence to children. All things considered this film is just bad.
