Doctor Sleep is a 2019 supernatural horror film based on the novel by Stephen King. It is a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining. The film stars Ewan McGregor as Dan Torrance, a man with psychic abilities and a drinking problem, who struggles with childhood trauma caused by the horrors at the Overlook Hotel. I've forgotten now where I watched it but don't see it currently streaming anywhere. That's a real shame. It's definitely worth watching. The used DVD is available at Amazon for about $3.

...some name that I recall, but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't familiar with it.
DeleteI enjoy Ewan McGregor but not much of a Stephen King fan. I know. You are probably shocked. He is so popular. King's great on weird, interesting premises but not at resolving them, so to speak. He is better with short stories (Green Mile/Stand By Me). :)
ReplyDeleteAmen! He can't seem to find an ending point. I prefer the film adaptations, which is unusual for me.
DeleteStephen King writes some good novels.
ReplyDeleteI don't know this film though.
All the best Jan
It was new to me, too.
DeleteIt sounds good if you like horror, and I know the Shining book was pretty spooky. I would probably skip this one.
ReplyDeleteIt was a seamless continuation of The Shining. I was impressed they managed it.
DeleteNope! Not even close!
ReplyDeleteDifferent strokes ;)
DeleteI watched this when if first came out and have watched it again. I do like this and maybe will put it on today while I draw. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised it was so good.
