 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here, so early reviews have started coming out for the upcoming or the soon-to-be-released sequel to Stephen King's novel as well as Kubrick's 1980 classic horror film The Shining the sequel to that Dr. Sleep early reviews started coming out for Dr. Sleep I Actually didn't even know Dr. Sleep existed until I Saw reports coming out that a sequel to The Shining was being made and I thought initially that it was going to have nothing to do With source material, but then I found out that Stephen King did in fact write a sequel to The Shining it released in 2013 Now for the sake of just wanting to enjoy the movie first since the novel's been out already I have not read the novel I do plan on reading it at some point because as of now I've only read The Shining and even then I still need to reread that because it's been a while since I read The Shining But getting into the point of this video early reviews have started coming out for it and Based off of the trailers and everything I was a bit skeptical However, I know Mike Flanigan was involved in he's involved in it and he's the one that brought this all together And everyone knows that he did an amazing job with the haunting of Hill House So despite the trailers not being that impactful to me The second trailer was a step way better way better very nostalgic got me excited, but it just wasn't that it was missing a but early reviews started coming out and Mike Flanigan apparently has delivered a worthy sequel to The Shining now I Don't know what exactly will be going on in the movie like I said before I just know bits and bits and pieces But some of the early reviews have brought attention to how bold it is how it stays close to a coop how it pays pays homage to what Kubrick presented in his adaptation of The Shining because It's universally known that Stephen King hates how Kubrick handled The Shining, but Here he Stephen King has praised Dr. Sleep. He's praised how Mike Flanigan has brought it all together now for those of you who aren't familiar with him Mike Flanigan is the one responsible for a Few Netflix horror films that have been very successful Gerald's game is one and then another one. I believe is a movie with his wife starred in and she was also in the haunting of Hill House I'm trying to think of it hush Both of those were very well-crafted horror films hush being a horror film that puts you in a different perspective of sorts For the audience in the character now to see that he is I Really am not that surprised at early reviews for the film are are very good Mike Flanigan I have yet to see a project from him that hasn't disappointed in terms of the horror genre now, but What what really strikes this what really gets me going about this is there reports are claiming This is the best Stephen King adaptation since the Shawshank redemption now that is a bold claim to make but Given how again this the haunting of Hill House. That was one of the most beautiful haunted house stories that I've ever seen On the television screen or in a in the form of a series. It's very heartfelt. It's very touching. It's also very terrifying Mike Flanigan just does an amazing job. He did an amazing job. Bring you into the world of those characters making you feel for them. I Just I'm really interested to see what he has done here with doctor sleep because I know doctor sleep the novel Got rave reviews and to see that Mike Flanigan somehow has managed to make a successful worthy Predecessor to Kubrick's the shining as well as the novel of the shining Really excited to see it Let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already make sure you subscribe It's on our post notifications so you never miss a video.
