Doctor Sleep

A worthy sequel to The Shining much like 2010 was to 2001 A Space Odyssey only better. It's an interesting film because it's trying to juggle the Stephen King novels and the Kubrick film and what it ends up being, for the most part, is a Mike Flanagan signature film. In a way, this does feel like the culmination of Flanagan's filmography.

I thought Ewan McGregor as Danny Torrance was great. They do a lot with the character where you do feel sympathy for him. Kyliegh Curran probably impressed me the most as Abra Stone. She gives the film the playful energy it needs and the one character that's more relatable because you are with her discovering her Shining abilities. However, the one that pretty much steals the movie for me is Rebecca Ferguson as Rose the Hat. It might be her best role to date and she's the one character that chews the most scenery out of everyone.

There's also a lot of supporting characters that I also dug and some of them worked with Flanagan before. The first two acts do feel like it's bringing something new to a well known iconic film and expands the world. Which is why when they start to harken back to the original film so heavily in the 3rd act, it does feel like they've earned those moments. Overall, it's hard to say if this is my favorite Mike Flanagan movie, but it's certainly up there as well as one of the better Stephen King adaptations.
9/10
 
I have a bunch of movie posters, and have a place to hang one on my living room wall. Every couple of months I change them out. When Rutger Hauer died, I put up this poster to honor him. Tonight I watched it again for the umpteenth time.

Anna and the Apocalypse - British zombie musical with heart. I enjoyed it a lot.
