Review of Doctor Sleep (2019) by Startti — 10 Nov 2019

Smart, gorgeous, creepy, and unnerving, but with a lot of heart and empathy for those dealing with additions and past trauma. DOCTOR SLEEP is the impossible bridge between the novel and movie THE SHINING, yet is able to stand on its own.

Director Mike Flannagan is not only a gifted director, but an intelligent storyteller. The changes from the book worked perfectly for cinema. His tributes to kubrick were also surprising and cool.

I so strongly recommend seeing the movie in theatres. Its a work of art with fantastic performances the ache and terrify equally and stands alongside Shawshank (as well as Stand by Me, Misery, Green Mile, and IT) as one of the best King adaptations that impacts beyond the horror genre.
