Doctor Sleep

If you haven’t seen the original The Shining or know that Writer/Director Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep is, in reality, The Shining Part 2, you’ll be mystified as to what’s going on for a good while.

However, once one gets a handle on the disparate plot lines, this horror thriller is actually quite good, thanks mostly to Rebecca Ferguson, who plays the ruthless leader of The True Knot, a cult of souleaters, who feast on the souls of innocent people in order to live, potentially forever.

Here, Dan Torrance (Ewan McGregor), Danny from the original film is trying to protect a young girl (Dakota Hickman) from being devoured by the Cult.

If you have seen The Shining or, at least, know this film is based on a Stephen King novel, you’ll enjoy it even more.

I give Doctor Sleep a 3.7 out of 5.
