Doctor Sleep? More like Fall Asleep
I thought it was surprisingly decent. Not great or anything, but better than it should have been. Of all the "legacy" sequels to crop up in the wake of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull it was one of the best despite being the least promising.
Agreed. Definitely one of the best Stephen King adaptations in a long time.
I thought it was really good but slowly turned into clap bait.
It was okay. The big problem was that it wasn't sure if it wanted to be a sequel to the Kubrick version or the book. The lookalike actors that they got did a pretty good job though
Agreed, Lloyd the bartender was convincing in that light. Weak pour though. And Danny unlocking his starving demons was great
Imagine if I edited this image so it said “Doctor Sneed” and I made them look yellow
Hahahaha
Lol, I would definitely give you a (you)! Chuckling to myself now just thinking about it ha ha
More like I’m gonna fricking fall asleep while watching this fricking pile of donkey dick bullshit!
I was surprised how they kept with the scene where the villains torture an 11 year to death, I kept expecting them to cut away and leave the rest implied but they kept at that sucker.
>Black person
Not watching.
It was really boring and I fricking hate the digital, ~~*creamy*~~ look to it.
Thought it was one of the best I've seen in awhile. Actual stakes with threatening villains. No out of place comedy that deflates the whole thing.
How were they “threatening” in any way. The first time the little Black girl interacts with the main antagonist she overpowers her. Yeah, the supporting cast is in trouble but the main character isn’t in any danger.
She lays a trap because she knows they are coming and the villain doesn't expect it. That's the protagonists acknowledging the threat and taking reasonable steps to not die. That doesn't mean the villains aren't threatening. Most modern villains are constantly made the butt of jokes by the main characters left and right. There's never a single moment where anyone seems to take the threat remotely seriously.
Weren’t the bad guys like 100’s of years old and get completely logged by a 13 yo. Come on that’s moronic.
>Completely
She's a psychic powerhouse but still a little kid. Most of the story directly deals with adults trying to keep her out of harm way.
It honestly bordered more on good old fashioned Urban Fantasy than horror.
i think the other problem is what is horror? this is a horror movie but it didn't have a bunch of jumpscares or anything. in that respect i still think Doctor Sleep qualifies as horror.
That's fair.
Honestly "It shouldn't be that good" is my main opinion of hte movie. I have plenty of complaints, minor and small, but as a whole it's still a very pleasant surprise of a movie that genuinly took me aback even knowing it got reasonably positive reviews.
Yeah, they were old and complacent. They were giddy because they thought they stumbled upon a fountain of youth. They weren't expecting the girl to be as tapped into her power as she was and they weren't expecting her to know they were coming and have set up precautions. Once they knew what she's capable of, they capture her pretty easily.
Don’t you think it’s a bit stupid to have some kid be as powerful as old beings? Sorry, it’s childish writing. The clinic of the food is a 2 v 1 of an enemy you’ve already shown can be beaten. Literal homosexual script.
But that's part of the whole story. It's not muscle strength.
They always go after children since they have the purest strongest power.
Powerful child psychics have been a trope pretty much forever. They've been an even bigger trope specifically within King books. I don't have an issue with it.
I liked it. I watched the director's cut. I had low expectations because all my favorite reviewers said it was bad. I'd say this movie is underrated. It wasn't afraid to kill off likeable characters or kids. No kids died in The Shining, so this movie is more edgy than the prequel.
I liked it.
the pedo scene was too much for me
It`s actually pretty good. Coomer motivations aside Rebecca Ferguson`s Rose the hat worked great as a villain and the pacing and way to build up tension actually match King`s writing style. From the many adaptations of his work this is one of the few ones that does.
The child torture scene was actually pretty brutal and I'm surprised it made the final cut.
fun fact, the director wanted the scene to be as realistic as possible so he swapped the prop knife with a real one without telling anyone
i liked it because it was played straight and the story wasn't put aside for horror movie cliches, they didn't make this into an American Psycho 2 situation. seeing Ewan Ewan McGregor do an American accent is so fricking weird though, constantly threw me off after seeing him play Obi-Wan so much. i have a similar problem with Matt Smith from Doctor Who playing Americans.
it was pure kino
a sequel to a classic horror shouldn't be that good
i think it helps that it's really not a sequel until the very end, the other 80% it's telling its own story with its own characters.
I just laugh because King loves it yet a straight up sequel to Kubrick’s movie which he still seeths at
The book was even worse. King is such a fricking hack. But yeah, this movie was shit.
>le Shining vampires that for some reason didn't detect Danny or the shit at the Overlook 30 years ago
>new stronk black girl that is ever more stronker than Danny
>Hotel still standing, even though movie established it was destroyed. I get that it wasn't destroyed in the book, but this a sequel to a movie where it did blow up
>Danny is OF COURSE an alcoholic that goes to AA meetings
still standing, even though movie established it was destroyed. I get that it wasn't destroyed in the book, but this a sequel to a movie where it did blow up
?
This is literally backwards.
Rumor is his hack son wrote the book
Just a shoddy vehicle to push nutty black worship, the movie at least. never read the story
The problem is that most of the people here don’t care about some flop from 5 years ago and the contrarian gays in here will try and convince you it’s good. It didn’t even meet most people’s already low expectations.
Remember when Kubrick put a shitty ugly blue filter over everything?
It takes a serious lack of self awareness to put a shitty blue filter over everything when you're making a (sort of) sequel to a Stanley Kubrick film, a guy who was known for his visuals. How dense and incompetent can you be?
Such a boring title shouldn’t be allowed
The antagonists are israelites committing their child blood sacrifices. They devour children's essences to remain young.
i remember when this flick came out and seeing at the kinoplex
made that shit made me so sleepy. I was yawning so loud during the whole thing trying to stay awake and some chick had the audacity to get the manager to kick me out because I "distracting others from the movie"/snoozefest
ferguson made my peepee tingle thou
great flick 8/10
