Such a good movie that sends goosebumps to you

And look forward to watching it again soon. Loved it!

Loved this movie, it reminds of of his classics like thinner and cujo. This is one of those movies sequels that could be a stand alone but with enough fan service to connect to the original.

This movie was incredibly well written and Rebecca Ferguson nailed Rose the Hat so well that you genuinely enjoy watching her as the villain. The extra footage from the directors cut added entirely new perspectives on characters and motives. Kyleigh Curran also did an amazing job portraying Abra.

I love Stephen King movies but this was hands down the best ever!!! I hope The Shining becomes a franchise like Halloween. Would love to see more stories about The Shine/Steam.

Unfortunately, there is an audio mix issue in the director’s cut that renders that version unwatchable in a home theater. The center mix (dialogue, main effects track, etc.) is panned hard right. So everyone seems to be speaking from a distance, and other sound effects are placed differently from the action on the screen. Hoping for a very quick fix here, because like many I am anxious to see (and hear!) the director’s vision.

The book is much better, with it you get more in depth character insight and you’ll understand the movie better.

Great way to play out Danny’s life and ending!

Much better then the books ending, liked how they incorporated both books and the Kubrick film all together.

Tight, engaging horror film. Sinister villain.

Doctor Sleep was terrifying to watch and Ewan McGregor was fantastic in this horror thriller i had fun most of the time just Scary!

I put it up there with T2. Great movie.

Third film

Not completely like the book, but still an great film! Can't wait to see it again.

I enjoyed this movie. Can’t wait for it to come to Itunes

Better than the 1st one, the Shining by S. King. I don't do reviews, 1st time to give my 2 cents, but this is a must have or at least rent movie, worth the money!

I’ve seen The Shining at least a few times, and it was kind of good. However, Doctor Sleep was almost better than the classic. In my opinion, Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson deserve an Academy Award.

If you’re a fan of the Shining you’ll enjoy this movie. The book was a page turner and I loved every minute of it so when I went to see the movie I was skeptical. But it didn’t disappoint!! There are a few things they changed for the movie but that’s always going to be the case when turning a book into a movie. I highly recommend it.

Doctor Sleep is a favorite! It had great casting, a great plot in relation to the book by Stephen King, and had perfect connections to The Shining!

Such an amazing film! i was entertained throughout the whole movie and Ewan McGregor is such an extraordinary actor!

I love this movie so much! The thrills and suspense on point!! I pray another sequel comes out.

As a life long fan of The Shining I went in to this film hoping it would be decent. When I left I was shedding tears of joy. It was indeed a terrific example of a sequel that can be its own movie while still being connected to another legendary work. Also, look for a cameo by Henry Thomas of E. T. fame.

Loved it. Stayed true to the King novel. Can’t wait to see it again.

This was excellent, everything about it, story, cast, and overall great cinematography. Being a huge fan of The Shining, I was hoping for a good sequel, and was extremely pleased with Doctor Sleep. Mcgregor and Ferguson were spectacular. All the supporting cast was great as well. The real star was Kyliegh Curran, and she owned it!

Loved it. Some say it’s slow. I was glad for the continuation of the story. Enjoy being in that world.

The Shining is one of my favorite horror films. And I have very few. So I was cautious about this one. Happily, the story didn’t rely solely on the original and had a great premise of its own. The characters were well developed and the actors truly suited their parts. It had just enough references to the original. But could easily stand on its own. One of the best sequels in recent memory.

Hi, there!

Mike Flanagan is such an awesome director, he not only nails Kings story he manages to tie in Kubricks great but , flawed version of The Shining . Could watch this over & over.

Lots of stuff for fans of the shining but still great enough to stand on its own without its prior

Such a great movie. Loved every minute of it. The entire casts' performances were spectacular, and Rebecca wore the role of pure evil so spectacularly well, and so chamring too.

This was a good surprise. Was not expecting to like this movie so much because I never liked The Shining that much. However, I liked this movie more than the Shining. It has good villains. The villains have back stories, some more than others, and it really adds to the depth of the story. The movie is very atmospheric and well thought out. The acting is excellent. My only grip is that they should of released this in October. This is a Halloween movie. I already preordered this one on iTunes. Nice add to my movie collection. One of the best movies I’ve seen this year.

What a fantastic movie!!!

This is most likely my favorite horror / suspense movie since The Sixth Sense. Fantastic storytelling with an almost perfect build up to the movie’s climax. A worthy sequel to The Shining.

Yes, this is better than Stanley Kubrick’s “Shining”! I never thought I would say that because I was a little nervous about Pet Sematary’s underperformance and rating! However there are some good character moments ,and great acting that drive the story! Also who cares if it doesn’t make that much money at the box office it’s a one and done anyway! It’s hardly fits in the genre of horror! It’s more of a thriller ,adventure film at times and the character moments feel very close to films like “Misery,Shawshank,Green Mile and Stand By Me”! 👍 I think these character moments are how we’re supposed to view Stephen Kings stories! However,I feel like “Doctor Sleep” is going to be ignored by most fans of Kubrick's “Shining” or trashed on saying it was convoluted or wasn’t scary. In all honesty The Shining isn’t the best movie ever made, and there is so little dialogue to even care. I love it still and it is a classic and one of my favorite movies, but “Doctor Sleep” has dialogue ,has character development and has heartfelt moments! These are things “The Shining” was missing because it’s main focus was Jack Torrance and rightly so,but Danny was also the focus and that’s where Kubrick fails and succeeds at the same time. I guess there were heartfelt moments,but when there’s so much eerie music mixed in with them it’s hard to care! “Doctor Sleep” stops the music at heartfelt moments so you can breathe versus Shining where you could never breathe! Kubrick captured the story,but character moments are cut short,character development of the ghosts is never explained, and there’s not much dialogue!

I’m actually giving this 4 and 1/2 stars I got to be honest it not the best but still I was entertained by the movie doctor sleep had some great performances from Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson that was outstanding it a must watch if you like Stephen king or the shining this might be up your alley must buy!!!!

so many surprising moments and just a great flick

Wow what a movie Doctor Sleep was terrifying!

I really enjoyed every moment. So gripping & well acted.

What an amazing follow up 40 years later!!! Everything was flawlessly done. Until the final showdown - what a sloppy short ending. How can u make such an amazing movie. Then have this ending that seems rushed and cut short SMH -

All in all it’s amazing

Definitely a great sequel that leaves you actually wanting even more and if we’re lucky that will happen in the future...and Rebecca Ferguson is just too beautiful so that definitely doesn’t hurt at all. Great acting and very clever references to The Shinning such as the office seen with the doctor. Awesome!!!

Better than the Shining. I hope another sequel comes out. This was great! I like what they did with it. Ewan McGregor deserves an Oscar for Danny Torrance! The only upsetting part is when the demons kill Jacob Tremblay’s character, he was so innocent, they showed him no mercy! Other than that, the movie was great!

A smart follow up to the Shining. While most of the film’s references to the original seem fluid and meaningful the final act overplays certain themes and gets a bit sappy. A blemish for one of the best films of 2019 hands down.

I'm a big fan of all of the source material, and the more I think back on this movie, the more I love it. Can't wait to see it again.

Doctor Sleep 😴 The additional Stretch to Stephen King’s The Shining, While no where near that Classic but was more convincing than most of the Conjuring Universe! The Jump Scares do work in true Horror motif where As Curse of La Liorona were too wishy washy! The Doctor is in 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️!

2nd

Not particularly terrifying, but extremely entertaining, this film had me until the rushed and unintentionally comical third act.
