“Doctor Sleep doesn’t simply rehash its source material, and instead uses its characters, setting, and themes in smart and novel ways.”~Matt Singer, ScreenCrush
Aroview: A nothing-if-not-bold sequel to one of the greatest horror movies of all time, THE SHINING. Set 40 years after the events of the 1980 movie, where Dan Torrance has made a life for himself in a New Hampshire town, despite the trauma he experienced as a child in the terrifying Overlook Hotel. However his peace is shattered when a teenager who shares his extra-sensory power shows up, and the two must battle a cult of psychic vampires.

2 stars (Good Try) It has an overcomplicated way of telling its story and it relies heavily on noisy sound effects to create excitement. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) Arguably not better than it's predecessor, but I'd quite honestly give this a rewatch over The Shining. ~Vesper Lord
4 stars (Very Good) ~trauma_hound412
