WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
The Shining. If you haven't watched it, you’ve heard about it. It’s known as one of the most notorious horror movie to ever released getting an 87% on Rotten Tomato. It's about a family who become a caretaker for a hotel in the winter, as the family stays at a hotel, their son starts to have visions of the horrors that happened in the hotel.
Doctor Sleep is about Danny Lloyd, the son in The Shining. In this movie it shows more characters that have visions/powers, which Danny calls shining, they give you the ability to mess with somebody's head and communicate with other people with the same ability. In Doctor Sleep, it starts off with a group of people with the ability of shining called the True Knot. These group of people go around soul eating the few people that have the powers left. As they get more hungry for souls they stumble upon a kid who seems to be very powerful to the True Knot. Once captured he slowly gets devoured, after the kid dies they all get a vision of a girl who has extraordinary powers. As Abra, the girl who has extraordinary power, then wakes up screaming from the kid dying. She then meets up with Danny Lloyd to stop the True Knot.
Doctor Sleep is a great movie I would give it 8/10 because the movie shows the viewers more about the powers of shining. I give this movie such a high rating because the movie also tells us a story instead of being a movie that is just trying to scare you. Another thing I like about this movie is that you don’t need to watch the first movie to get what's going on in this movie. Although there are a lot of good things about this movie there is also some downsides such as the background noise of someone's heart beating during random moments in the movie which I found pointless. I also don’t like how they don’t really talk about the characters that apart of the True Knot. I would recommend this movie to viewers who are big fans of The Shining and fans of an interesting horror/fantasy movie.
