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. Did we need a sequel to The Shining, Stephen Kings novel or Stanley Kubricks iconic 1980 movie. 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. The past folds in on itself in the Shining sequel Doctor Sleep. 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. 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”. 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.
This episode of Face-Off is written by Jay Saint G, narrated by Shawn Knippelberg, and edited by Jay Saint G.A dapting Stephen King is one thing, writing a spiritual sequel to a Stanley Kubrick movie quite another. That’s right! Grab your axe and pour yourself a glass of Red Rum because it’s time to shine… FACE OFF! Set several decades after the events of its predecessor, the film stars Ewan McGregor as Danny Torrance, a man with psychic abilities who struggles with childhood trauma. In this modern age of legacy sequels, Doctor Sleep fared very well critically and currently has a fresh rating over on those Tomatoes That Are Rotten, but which of these Stephen King adaptations shines the brightest? It is based on the 2013 Stephen King novel of the same name, and is a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980). The follow-up focuses on Danny dealing with the aftermath of the first movie’s events while protecting teenage girl Abra, who possesses the same power to shine, from the evil monsters of the True Knot led by Rose The Hat.
The long-awaited sequel to The Shining based on the 2013 novel of the same name stars Obi-Wan Kenobi himself, Ewan McGregor, playing an adult Danny Torrance. Fast forward nearly 40 years later to 2019, Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep hit theaters but underperformed at the box office.
