There's a great Shining-y film called Stir of Echoes with Kevin Bacon.

2021-09-01 06:27:25 +0000 UTCOkay fuck stephen king, fuck the director of this movie, fuck a society that wants to consume depictions of a little boy being tortured, disemboweled, terrified and desperate for hours - which, I will remind anyone seeing this, really happens, It was just in the news a grandfather pleaded guilty for TORTURING AND MURDERING his 12 year old grandson, IN COOPERATION WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY. I firmly believe we need more empathy in this world, and desensitizing us to suffering - child suffering no less, graphic, prolonged - builds up callouses instead. I'm furious and horrified and want to kick the ass of the director and King for producing this shit for entertainment.

2021-07-13 13:21:55 +0000 UTCI think that may have been my favorite scene! Abra had Danny's mannerisms down so well! She was a fantastic actress! There were so beautiful shots in this film too! I'm so glad we watched it! -Sam

2021-07-13 13:21:15 +0000 UTCYes, we haven't read the books yet, but I love how Flanagan ties in so much of the first film! -Sam

2021-07-13 13:19:03 +0000 UTCOoh good comparison! I love that we've been able to see some amazing sequels on this channel - Termination / Aliens and soon the Godfather Part II! Hahaha I love that you loved those parts! I think that may be the most scared I've been on the channel so far! -Sam

2021-07-12 00:30:47 +0000 UTCThe most interesting thing is that this movie is strictly a sequel to the Kubrick movie, not the book. In the book The Shining the hotel was destroyed, so the book version of Dr. Sleep has a completely different ending from the movie, and although Stephen King is sort of famous for not doing well putting together endings to his books, the ending of the book Dr. Sleep is actually far better than the ending of the movie.

2021-07-11 23:18:20 +0000 UTCIt's a minor thing, perhaps, but one of my favourite bits in the movie is when Danny takes over Abra in the car. The actress who plays Abra did a FANTASTIC job of pretending to be Danny. It was subtle but brilliant. I hope we'll be seeing more of her in the future! That and the scene where Rose attempts to go through Abra's mind only to fall into her trap. The shot of her flying chaotically through the air afterwards, going back into herself, and then flying off the top of her RV. God that was shot beautifully. I was very skeptical of this film, having never read the book and thinking that a sequel to The Shining seemed rather exploitative. Boy was I wrong. Another great reaction, guys. Keep up the great work!

2021-07-11 19:02:57 +0000 UTCGlad you watched the Director's Cut. It's much better and adds a lot more. As you've probably found out, Stanley Kubrick changed a lot from Stephen King's book and King hated it. He then wrote Doctor Sleep in 2013. What this film does is bridge the gap between King's book and Kubrick's film, as it takes elements from both worlds. I don't want to spoil too much of the book in case you want to read it, but the way this film ends is almost identical to the way the Shining book ends, with the hotel burning to the ground.

2021-07-11 09:07:06 +0000 UTCI personally really love this movie, and in my opinion this movie does for the Shining what T2 did for the Terminator, it just takes things to a whole new level. Im glad you watched the directors cut, alot of the most impactful scenes were really cut down in the theatrical version. My 3 favorite parts of your reaction had to be TBR counting the kills in the shoot out, how excited you both were that their going back to the Overlook, and most of all when he looked through the door, I already knew the flashback was coming but Sams scream made me jump at it happening like it was the first time I seen it. lol

2021-07-11 08:45:57 +0000 UTCI happen to feel Doctor Sleep is an incredible sequel to an amazingly well made classic horror film. Yes, true, The Shining/Stanley Kubrick adaptation took many liberties with the novel and Stephen King was never happy about that. But I feel Mike Flanagan did a tremendous job finding a balance in paying homage to The Shining novel/film as well as adapting Doctor Sleep with such respect. He loved the book as well as the film adaptation of The Shining, and he found a way to juggle it all so beautifully. As a matter of fact I love The Director's Cut more than the theatrical cut. And I thoroughly enjoyed the theatrical when I saw it at the theater for the first time. This adaptation meant a lot to me personally as it dealt with alcoholism in such a real and respectful way so as to not shame those like myself who battles alcoholism and have been sober for a year and six months. Fantastic reaction you guys! Glad you reacted to this movie - And this version!
