 Tastes like a shinin That's a hot mug guys Hi guys This is my review for dr. Sleep the next movie directed by Mike Flanagan who has proven himself To be one of the best horror film directors in the business right now and especially when these films have child actors The guy has proven himself through several movies that he can one direct great horror He makes films that just outshine these copy-and-paste garbage heaps that just keep coming out year after year as well As he can get kid actors to pull off Phenomenal performances. He did that with haunting at the Hill House series. He did that with the Ouija movie He's done that with several of his films and he's done that again with this movie doctor sleep Now obviously this movie had a lot of writing on it Was a sequel to one of the most coveted horror films of all time as well as following Danny's story And just seeing where he is now how he got there through his drug and alcohol battles and his own personal demons and then also Abra this other girl who has the shining in a similar power sense and on top of that these two have to team up to fight against Rose the hat in her group of People who are hunting down and killing the people who have the shining to absorb their steam and Basically kind of being mortal sort of there's a lot in this movie and it's why it's two hours and 30 minutes long and You definitely feel that you definitely feel that length Especially in the first quarter I would say but it's a necessary length to establish all of these story elements to Put in all of these aspects into the film King is not just only a horror writer He's also a character writer and Flanagan is doing his best to cram in all of these elements While being true to the film as well as the original novel I remember when I saw that this was happening and I thought if there's one guy you could pull this off and not Screw it up. It would definitely be Mike Flanagan and he doesn't he makes a very very intriguing movie he makes a very compelling Thriller movie I would almost say as well as a character based film There are some horror elements, but they're very few far between because this movie isn't really scary It's just more so visually Engaging in terms of how the shining works. He's able to pull you into these Worlds of how these characters are able to find each other how they're able to use their powers and he does it in a way that Really really interests you it takes time He does a lot of visual storytelling and most directors most studios would not agree to this But because it's Flanagan because it's a king sequel it has to be done for you to be fully immersed into the story fully immersed into these characters lives and While it does take time for stuff to happen It helps put you in this world and again the kid actors in this the girl who plays Abra is Fantastic her and Ewan McGregor have great chemistry and I love there how the two of them work together And I love also that she's kind of a badass in this movie She's able to handle her own because she's so powerful and I loved her Conflicts her confrontations with rose the hat several times in the movie I actually think that there's some elements in this movie that are disturbing but they're disturbing for different reasons for instance, they find a kid and The how they get the steam out of him It's probably the most horrifying element of the entire movie and I applaud the filmmakers for keeping this scene in I believe this movie had an R rating and I can guarantee you it's for this scene It's for this scene in particular I do like that Flanagan kept it in he kept to it and He doesn't really pull any punches with it It he shows enough to establish what we're getting and I think that's what this movie does It establishes what it's getting it does what it wants to do and it does it in a means that's respectful as well as engaging It just takes a bit of a minute for that punch to hit you because of how the movie is paced I was comparing it to Blade Runner 2049 because this movie and that film both have very similar very long rung times They both follow each other in a similar manner in terms of they're going for visual storytelling as well as Normal narrative storytelling, but I think that Dr. Sleep just doesn't have as much of a pull It's definitely not a movie you're gonna want to rewatch over and over again even if you are a big shining fan because it just doesn't have that constant terror that the shining does it doesn't have that Sort of nostalgia and complete what the hell is going on cubic factor to it This movie is a lot more of a focused narrative. It doesn't have a lot of what the hell is going on everything is kind of in a Focused narrative, which is a great thing and a minute Lee I would prefer to watch that over the shining because I'll come clean here I've actually never seen this shining. I've seen it in parts. I have almost seen the whole movie in parts that weird clown I've more so seen the Simpsons version many a time so that's my only experience So that's probably gonna completely deal with D legitimize my entire thoughts in this entire film and the original of course I did enjoy I'll definitely say that I did enjoy this movie. It's just not one of Flanagan's More rewatchable ones. Is it one of his better ones? I would definitely say so in the end I'm gonna give Dr. Sleep a five out of seven. It's a very cool movie. I did enjoy it I would definitely suggest anyone who is a big fan of the shining to watch it and It made me want to read the books now more so I'm probably gonna listen to them on an audiobook either way It got me interested anyways guys I hope you enjoyed this review if you did leave a like and if you're interested in more maybe subscribe Otherwise see you guys next time.
