![]() ![]() She flies vertically to her destination, the camera swooping underneath to show her gliding face-down, like a bird. In a striking, terrifically creepy image, Rose astral-projects herself into a victim’s bedroom. Led by Rebecca Ferguson’s seductive, fearsome Rose the Hat, they eat screams and drink pain in exchange for a longer (if not necessarily eternal) life. ![]() A cult who call themselves the True Knot are hunting children with powers, keeping the ghosts of the little boys and girls they catch in silver canisters. The new material is fresher and considerably more fun. ![]() The film stars Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, Kyliegh Curran, Carl Lumbly, and Cliff Curtis. Directed, written, and edited by Mike Flanagan. ![]() It is a sequel to The Shining (1980 film) and the second film in the The Shining franchise. Like many Stephen King stories, Doctor Sleep, the author’s belated sequel to his 1977 classic The Shining, isn’t so much a work of straight horror as it is an epic fantasy suffused with elements of the horrific. Flanagan hopes vainly that there is still magic and terror to be wrung from the memory of Kubrick’s film, and sends a grown-up Danny Torrance back to the Overlook hotel, which he escaped with his mother, to “wake it up”. Doctor Sleep is a 2019 American supernatural horror film based on the 2013 novel of the same name. Director Mike Flanagan takes on King’s 2013 follow-up novel to The Shining, but adjusts some details to ensure continuity with Kubrick’s cult 1980 adaptation of the original book. A dapting Stephen King is one thing, writing a spiritual sequel to a Stanley Kubrick movie quite another. ![]()
