Doctor Sleep was a fantastic horror movie while also paying respect and building upon the classic that is The Shining! We had such a great time watching this movie!
Thank you all for the support! I apologize for the late upload, had some issues with uploading the video but looks like I was able to get it resolved!
Great reactions you guys should watch The Evil Dead trilogy
The Evil Dead (1981)
Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987)
Army of Darkness (1992)
you thought this was a great sequel 3 decades later? You should try the Karate Kid then Cobra Kai, 34 years later with all the original actors.
The Stephen King universe is connected. The Pusher is a reference to the father from Firestarter. He was a pusher for the government with the same power of suggestion.
Fun fact, the older looking guy played by Carel Struycken, is the butler from the Adams Family.
It's funny to see that, despite all the mature well crafted movies these two have watched, they are still watching movies with the sensibilities of twenty year olds. They fell for every single hackneyed o.p. moment, every deus ex machina enthralled them, all the poorly written call-backs delighted them. But it's not just from being 20. Nearly everyone, who likes Dr. Sleep as a sequel, fails to understand Kubrick's Shining. Trying to use Kubrick's film as a template for a King sequel is like trying to set a modern story in the 1700s, complete with characters using smart phones and cars. It just doesn't work, except for the ignorant.
Fun Fact: The guy who was talking in the stands at the baseball game was the original actor to play Danny, who returned to acting just for this film.
Wow didn't realize that.
That is so cool! Had no idea.
Damn! I hate that I missed that! Very cool!
16:23 is the actor
Fantastic
Interesting little anecdote, apparently during the baseball torture scene, the kid was fine but the adult actors (especially the woman who played hat) were deeply traumatized by doing that scene, to the point where the shoot had to be stopped for a full hour to allow her to regain her composure, and ironically the kid actor ended up comforting her until they were ready to go again, then lay back down on the dirt with a smile assuring her he was fine.
I absolutely believe that - that kid was _astonishly_ good in that scene. I myself was traumatized by his screams when I first saw the movie - he truly, _truly_ sounded like he was dying, and dying in _pain._ I'm still awed by how convincing that kid was. To actually be there, seeing that kid covered in (fake) blood, screaming like that, directly in your face? Yeah, I'd need to take breaks, too!
Rebecca Ferguson who played Rose the Hat said in an interview she was physically ill and the Jacob Tremblay was squealing with laughter and ran off to craft service after and was eating a PB&J and kept putting the strawberry jelly on his tongue and sticking it out to mess with her! She said the kids in this movie were by far the best she has ever worked with.
I can't watch that scene again. It's too much, too painful
This was SUCH an underrated movie, I'm so sad it didn't get the attention it deserved, and reading these comments is making me realize how much more we should appreciate it :p
Yeah, people just skipped this movie. When I went to see it, there was barely anyone in the theater, just a few people.
Movie of the year for me.
Now we may know who the original Lloyd was from The Shining since the Lloyd in this movie is Jack.
@@elo_belo I meant that the original Lloyd was Jack’s father probably..
I watched the extended version and honestly it wasn't long enough I was HOOKED and thought it was definitely deserving in my place of best movies
Rebecca Ferguson was amazing in this film, and looked great too.
She is great. Can't wait to see her next month as the Lady Jessica in Dune.
She should be Poison Ivy in a Batman movie.
Rose The Hat is so much creepier in the book, especially when she turns in her vampire form. We never see their "real" vampire appearances in the movie. What I really like about this movie is that it is an adaption of both the sequel novel and the first movie. Kubrick's movie was great but it so far from the novel, especially the whole Shining thing, that it feels like it has nothing to do with it at times. But this movie respects both versions.
Yeah they balanced it so well. Very impressive imo
In the book, wasn't her fangs similar to the ones the vampire had in The Night Flyer?
Now i really want to read the book. But Im kind of glad they didn't go the vampire appearance route in the film. I think it works really well to have them essentially be the worst kind of human.
Yeah, I love the books, and the director did a great job, but saddened so many people won't read and appreciate the novel.
@@Ashwgun I know it's subjective and it's Stephen King, but are the books scary? 'It' messed me up for a while. Granted, I read when I was a teen but it really got to me.
I absolutely love this movie, especially the directors cut. The film got a bad rap from people who could not divorce themselves from the shining. It isn't going to be a Kubrick film, it wasn't going to be, it can't be, and it's fine. This film is a master piece in its own right that I think will have a cult following in the years to come. Michael Flanagen knows how to be make emotionally cutting horror films. I'm glad you guys saw it.
This movie is a sequel to Kubrick’s shining, and it lives up to that movie really well. I don’t see how anyone can be disappointed with it.
dr sleep is my favorite book, i read it in rehab and this movie does a damn good job of adapting the source material while also keeping in line with stanley kubriks changes made to the shinning. 9/10!
When they were torturing the baseball boy, everyone on set was really disturbed by the kid's performance; but when the scene was done; he just hopped up, have his dad a high five, and went to the snack table.
Well he is an award winning actor despite his young age. Just watch Room.
I love horror films, but as a parent, I just can not get through that scene.
I can't sit through that scene. No matter how much I know it's just actors.
@@QuayNemSorr That kidnap and torture scene was tough for me too...despite it is acting, the thought that someone could harm a child in that way bothers me deeply!
@@tooluser it's really scary cuz they've been doing this for thousands of years
When Rose called Annie a pusher I remembered that that's also a term King used in his book, Firestarter. One of the main characters in that story was also able to "push" people.
It also made me think of the flawed but underrated Chris Evans movie "Push" which also stars Cliff Curtis and it has psychics who are also "pushers."
@@TimFisheroo The X-Files also uses this exact term in the same way. In the episode "Pusher" , there is a character who goes by the alias Pusher , who uses the mental ability to control/manipulate/push people.
@@adgato75 Oh that's right! Robert Modell. That was a fantastic episode. Cerulean blue... cerulean blue...
Same universe
@@TimFisheroo Yeah , the actor gives a great performance.
Has anyone mentioned yet that in the book, Danny actually is Abbra's uncle.
Her grandmother from her moms side had a thing with Danny's dad.
I was looking for this comment because I couldn't remember if I'd just imagined that or not hahaha. I did wonder if they were going to include that in this film but I guess it works without it.
The Roland from the end of the Dark Tower books is the Roland from the Dark tower movie.
Stephen King's films are in a different universe from his books, and the films are a retelling.
Mike Flanagan had an adult version of Danny's red bicycle built, so he and the cast+crew could ride it on the Overlook set they built for this film. :)
This is the perfect example of a sequel that earns all of it's callbacks and references without being hokey af
Mike Flanagan really is one of the new master of horror and suspense ! He really recreated some of the feel of the original in the end.. and that scene with the child scream...pure terror ! I highly recommend The haunting of Hill house , Hush and Geralds Game !!
Haunting of Bly Manor is amazing too. not as good as Hill House but Bly Episode 6 "The Romance of certain Clothes" is one of the best hour in horror and damn is it tragic and sad
Totally agree. Love him and all his work
Add Midnight Mass to Flanagan’s horror accomplishments!
'Oculus' by Flanagan is very good, worth seeing. It's about a possessed mirror.
Such a lovely couple and underrated channel. Other reaction channels should take notes from them, they pay enough attention to know what's going on, never over the top hands on head reaction like most channels do. You guys are great!
Agree, seems like a lot of the other reactors are always on and trying to hard. The over the top reactions, exaggerated facial expressions and lame comedy routines are off putting. The sad thing is those types seem to be the most popular reactors.
These two are the only “reaction” TH-camr’s I’ll watch.👍
I was really surprised when I discovered they cast Henry Thomas, the little boy from "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" as Jack Torrance. He did an excellent job of recreating Jack Nicholson's original performance. This movie should definitely be on any list of great sequels.
He is a frequent collaborator of director Mike Flanagan. Besides this movie they have worked together in Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald's Game and The Haunting of Hill House & Bly Manor.
Lol that's so weird. You go from being a kid who befriends a friendly alien to the ghost of a murderous alcoholic father.
He also played young Norman Bates in Psycho 4
Henry Thomas is an underated actor. He was really good in Gangs Of New York.
Henry Thomas was also in a scarier alien movie, Fire in the Sky, the biopic of Travis Walton and his alien abduction. As well as Stephen King's Desperation miniseries.
the book explains the connection between Abra and Danny, her mom is actually Danny's half sister so when she calls him uncle she's being truthful. but this is still a good adaptation of a King novel.
Different universe.
Roland got his New Game Plus in the world of Film
One more layer to the story: Danny's middle name is "Anthony". "Tony" for short. When Danny, as an adult, was dreaming of the Overlook, he was communicating with little boy Danny... full circle.
Ka is a wheel
@@triangle_of_jesus indeed! Lol
ohh shit thats nuts
actually he named his shinning Tony because it's a part of him, he named it with his middle name, I don't remember fully but I think in the book he visualize Tony and provides to him the clues or information
@@dulcealvarez6071 Whereas Abra took her cues from Pokémon and RWBY.
Just my opinion, but the Doctor Sleep Director's Cut is a million times better than the theatrical version.
This was the director’s cut, right? There were some parts I didn’t remember but wasn’t sure if I had just forgotten.
@@LCDigital92 Yeah, they watched the director's cut.
Yes they watched the directors cut and yes its the complete version that was originally made but had to be cut for time. It's much much better and flows very well.
I actually prefer the title card in the theatrical cut, but other than that you are correct.
Agreed
When the guy with the watch offers Dan the Hospice job, the office is an exact replica of the Office at the Hotel when they offer the job as care taker to his dad. Great Sequel!
Yep. No one seems to notice that and it's so blatent
Honestly one of my favorite recent horror movies! If someone told you they made a 40 year later sequel to the shining you’d think it would be a bad cash grab but this works really well I feel
Ain’t that the truth? I avoid this movie all these years and just saw it for the first time last night. I can’t believe I slept on this one. It’s so good. I might even like Doctor Sleep more than The Shining in a lot of ways.
Another amazing comparison is the Dan vs Rose, Light vs Dark. When Dan is Dr Sleep to the dying, he is comforting them by giving them peace and happiness in their final moments. But when Rose is comforting Granpa Flick as he is dying, she is talking about how he was a king bringing terror to others, and Grandpa Flick had a horrible, painful death.
I'm so glad you two watched Dr. Sleep. The Shining has been a favorite of mine for many, many years. I remember when the Dr. Sleep book was released, I bought it and read it straight away. I absolutely loved the book and I remember telling my wife after I finished it, "this would make a hell of a movie, I hope they turn it into a movie." Several years later when I heard they was I got super excited. My wife an I saw it on opening weekend and my God I was enthralled the whole time. It remained true to the classic movie yet seemed fresh and new. It expanded on so much that the first film only touched on. Dr. Sleep is such a great movie, I personally called it the best movie of 2019 easily. Its an instant classic. Good video you two.
Also If you look at the scene where Danny had the hospice interview , it matches with the scene where Jack had his caretaker interview.
Now it's time for Mike Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House.
omfg YES
Probably the best horror tv show ever made.
YES PLEASE.
And then Bly Manor.
@@loudoesreviews I wish Bly Manor got more love than it does. Hill House set an insanely high bar and Bly Manor is different type story, so I think people were a little disappointed. I think they're pretty much masterpieces.
Did you notice that the office Dan was interviewed in was the exact same as the office Jack was interviewed in in ‘The Shining’?
I knew that room was familiar, damn, I never thought it would have been that same room
"So, tell me, pup, are you going to take your medicine?"
This movie is so good ... Rose the Hat is such a good villain I think.
Yeah! She's has no qualms with killing children and consuming their shine. Reminds me of It.
Cast her as Poison Ivy
Such an incredible sequel to the shining I was blow away by it Mike Flanagan really did an excellent job with this sequel and novel adaptation man I didn't expect it to be a brilliant as it was
The concept of a "pusher" who could influence people's action is really explored in Stephen King's Firestarter. That's another good movie with a very young Drew Barrymore.
I wonder if Stephen King made that a deliberate homage. That's because he conceived the idea for "Doctor Sleep" around 1998 when fans starting asking him what became of Danny, and he'd jokingly say that Danny ended up getting together with Charlie.
"Mom and dad, two strange men are coming to the house with guns to protect me from magicians" I cant with y'all
I wrote this almost a year ago, but it warrants reiteration: this is my favorite reaction channel. I haven’t discovered another reaction channel that was not as calming, insightful, respectful, and genuine as TBR Schmitt. I’ve in fact rewatched dozen of videos on this channel because I appreciate the commentary so much. There are no gimmicks, obnoxious remarks, and no attempts of trying to be humorous. It’s just two lovely people sharing some of their time with their audience while watching movies. Keep it up, Sam and TBR Schmitt. I may head over to Pateron after all…
(I recommend “Come and See” for a very good war movie, Jet Li’s “Hero” for your international taste, and “Firefly” for a future series).
I second Come and See!
have you seen cinema rules channel?
@@azazello1784 haha, it was their channel that I was thinking of when I wrote this. I mean no disrespect, though. To each their own.
@@rogerrabbit5110 That's fair. I like that they rate their movies and try to be entertaining sometimes.
@@azazello1784 They’re not bad. I do appreciate their diverse collection of movies, especially when they purposefully look for international films. I’m not too keen with their attempts of humor and side remarks, but I respect their fan base and overall setup. Certainly, I do not outright hate them, and they’re reaction to the Exorcist was what made me investigate more TH-cam reactors in the first place.
Thanks for your response!😊
This was really masterfully done. The director Mike Flanagan did a fantastic job at doing both the books and the Kubrick movie justice.
The scene where Danny and Jack "reunite" at the Overlook always makes me so emotional. That's the thing about great horror. At the core, there needs to be a tragedy of some sort.
You can tell the director was a big fan
It’s so sad that this movie bombed at the box office. It’s a wonderful film that walked an incredibly difficult tightrope successfully- it had to be a sequel to Stephen King’s original novel as well as Kubrick’s film version which was vastly different. I’m so glad you guys did this. Before this film, Mike Flanagan adapted another King novel, Gerald’s Game, for Netflix. It was a book I always thought could never be made into a film but he did it so successfully it’s now one of my favorite King adaptations. I would highly recommend it.
22:28 he changed his eye color. He said his mom couldn’t look him in the eyes, so he changed his eye color to look less like his dad (an also to match Ewan McGregor)
This movie is incredible. I love this film. The villains are living off of the steam that people with the shining emit. Did you 2 notice the office adult Danny was sitting in when the guy asked him about hospice was the same as the office from the shining? They did a great job with the casting especially with his friend, the cook. Also the actress playing Abra is amazing. I want to see her in more stuff
The actors who took the place of Scatman Crothers and Shelley Duvall are really damn good.
The Directors Cut is way better and I do like the ending a lot more. I previously thought the ending of the book is far superior and explains a bit more. But...watching it with you, I understand a bit more. Danny and Wendy, who couldn't look at each other(Wendy because Danny had Jack's eyes and Danny because Wendy was covered in flies from her sickness)finally look into each others eyes.
The part about Danny being able to see when a person is sick is in the book because of his shine. He saw his mother was going to die of cancer, but it was too late. He also sees Billy with flies on him as well, but because he catches it early, Billy is treated. At one point, he takes in Abra's grandmothers cancer into himself and sees flies on his own face(see below for more on that).
The True Knot start dying at a fast rate after they take the steam from the "Baseball Boy", who had measles(because of their longevity, they didn't have resistance to such things, which is why Grandpa Flick dies after so long)and they believe Abra's steam will cure them, which adds to the reason of why they need her so badly.
Billy is also revealed to have a bit of Shining to him, which is why he feels it's right to hire Danny.
Danny is revealed to be Abra's uncle(Jack had an affair with Abra's grandmother, meaning that Abra's mom is his half sister). Abra's grandmother is dying of cancer, which Danny absorbs into himself and feeds to the rest of the True Knot, which rapidly kills them. Billy and Abra's father survive and they just use the last of the remaining ghosts, of which only Horace Derwent("Great party, isnt it?")was left(the ghosts slowly weakened and disappear over time) to deal with the last of Rose's crew, who's an assassin who makes herself invisible with her "shine", while they psychically battle Rose, with Rose being pushed off the Overlook's balcony with the help of Jack's spirit, which gives him redemption). Abra reveals she has a lot of buried rage similar to Jack's own, which Danny tries to help her with. Danny also finally tells his AA group about the girl he left and her child, only for everyone in the group to accept him, which also brings it full circle.
Ah, so the ghost of Jack pulled a RotJ Darth Vader.
Thanks for this summary.
@@amyjordan195 You're welcome!
Cheap imitation.
Since King doesn't like Kubrick's film, the director asked his permission to make references to that film. As a result, the ending is very different from the book. For instance, the Overlook blew up at the end of the The Shining book. So, the ending of the Doctor Sleep book doesn't take place there.
It did take place there, on the site of the burned hotel-- now just a 'scenic overlook.'
@@jean-paulaudette9246 right. On the grounds. But not in the hotel.
Few seem to make the connection, from "The Shining" novel, when interviewing for the job, Jack was told the hotel's history, including it's beginning, when Native Americans in the area protested and attempted to sabotage the construction. It was said it was probably some old burial site they didn't want desecrated -- but actually it was an evil malevolent place they knew it was dangerous to disturb.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 it wasn't even tied to the hotel. After the hotel was destroyed, it tried to possess Halloran. Even though he fought it off, it's still there on the grounds.
Fun Fact: During the filming of the Baseball Kids death the actor who played the kid was so proud of his acting he was in happy spirits and ran to his father. The actors who played the ghosts however were traumatised and needed a break to cry or do whatever to clear their head
You guys didn’t have to wait a day for this sequel. I and others over 40 had to wait 30-40 years. A lot of people dislike this movie. I love both of them and the books are good so Thanks to Stephen KING.
The Shining got bad reviews when it was initially released and ended up being a classic masterpiece - I think this will end up being similar over time.
16:22 the guy on the right is the actor who played Danny in the 1980's Shining. Cool cameo by him.
I think you guys are one the best reaction people on TH-cam. You guys just feed off of each other so well while doing these videos, your editing is on point, and entertaining as hell. Keep it up :)
I thought the director did an awesome job with the portraying the power, intensity and carnage of the shine hunters. The flip side with Abra and Danny was awesome as well.
"I wonder what Danny's power is."
"Putting people in boxes."
Killed me you guys. Damn lol.
Doctor Sleep is one of my favorite movies of all time! The problem is that it flopped at the box office so we may never get the sequel Mike Flanagan (the director) wanted to make following Abra or the prequel following Holloran (the cook). Great reaction! Glad to see you appreciate the movie as much as we fans do!
The shining was a box office disappointment when it first came out then over time many people enjoyed it and now that Doctor Sleep premiered on HBO it got a new generation of fans
@@ACinemafanatic That's awesome! It deserves it!
You need too read the books. This movie did a great job putting them together.
Should read the Dark Tower series as well as they're so deep!y connected.
Abra is so powerful. It was amazing to see the shine at its full use. Both good and bad. I al ways thought this was a great movie, but loads of people didn't like how the director recreated the Overlook hotel. They felt he invaded their favorite movie. I didn't have a problem with it. The movie and your reactions were killer.
I love the scene when Dan is in Abra's body and the whole scene and what happens is awesome I love when she says "stands to reason of course you wouldn't wear your seatbelt" the way Dan acts as Abra and as himself the way he so creepyly says stuff is just amazing
One thing you seemed confused by was the flashback when young Danny went into the bathroom and was looking in the mirror. He said later that his mother couldn't look in his eyes because she saw his dad in them, so he changed them. Before that, Danny's eyes were brown, he changed them to blue. I noticed it at the time, but I didn't understand why that happened until he explained it later that he changed it so she wouldn't see his dad in him when she looked at him.
I liked how you compared Danny closing himself into the bathroom to the scene from watchmen with rorschach. hadn't realized how similar it felt until you pointed it out lol.
that being said... if y'all ever do a commentary/review of watchmen, movie or show, (because I will say, the HBO series is phenomenal) I would be so excited.
I love the interpretation that Stephen King and the director took to portray the shine as a sort of real world power. The shine came across as a witchdoctor sort in mystical power that has been around for thousands of years, but we are now understanding its true capabilities. Such as awesome movie. Stephen King strikes again.
Man, I love this movie so much. It has no right being as good as it is considering it's a sequel to a classic. I really do think it's a modern classic in its own right.
Another amazing reaction guys, thank you! Another fun fact since you talked about how well the recast actors played the parts from The Shining---Jack in this movie is played by Henry Thomas who was famous for starring in E.T. when he was a kid.
Interesting movie trivia: the guy with the beard at the baseball game who says "it's like the kid can read the pitchers mind", is played by Danny Lloyd who played Danny Torrance in "The Shining".
16:27 The dad in the crowd, talking about the little league batter who gets taken, that's Danny Lloyd. The actor who played Danny Torrance in The Shining.
One of my favorite sequels! If you read SK's epic Dark Tower series, there are a ton of connections here...19, Tet, Ka, Lemerk Industries to name a few.
"seems more complex than the shining"
Yes, because the shining movie erased much of the Stephen King's themes about the shining itself. Same for nearly all the movies adapted from books including what binds together all the books he wrote; The Dark Tower movie itself was a pale imitation of the books and managed to delete its very CORE. The shining appears in many of his stories, as lots of other themes/characters/places. All of his books gravitates around the Dark Tower book saga, which is the nexus of all these realities.
Dr Sleep, however, really FELT like a King's book, even if it was oversimplified next to the book, it still kept many aspet of King's mythical universe.
Oh God, The Dark Tower. What a bad movie. It doesn't feel like The Dark Tower. I love Idris Elba but Roland is clearly described as looking like Clint Eastwood in the books. It should have been a mini-series, not a movie. In fact it should never have been made...
@@Trygvar13 Impossible to agree more. I was so frustrated. Idris Elba is awesome but should never, ever, be Roland in anyone's mind.
@@Trygvar13 The dark tower movie takes place after the series. It's the next cycle of the events after he gets pushed through the doorway. Thats why it doesn't follow the book and seems to make no sense, nor follows the book logic it is meant to on purpose not resemble any of the things we like about the series.
If you guys want to watch a romantic movie with a psychological twist, check out Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.
That's a good suggestion for them. It takes some smarts to get that movie on the first viewing but I think these two could pull it off.
Yes! So happy you reacted to this. It's a great sequel.
Love this sequel to The Shining, and the world that connects all of Stephen King's novels. There are other worlds than these Gunslinger.
BANGO SKANK WAS HERE
It's interesting... the film was a commercial flop, but I've seen a LOT of reviews and similar watchthroughs in the year since, and Everyone always loves it. They like the cast, plot, and love the art direction, the hotel, the music... something just misfired on its initial release, but it's great to see how critics and audiences clearly have warmed to it since then. Glad ye enjoyed jt!
Yeah, the girl playing Abra was stunning! I bet we haven't sen the last of her!
This is such a classic movie of recent years, such a powerful sequel that has tremendous acting, great suspense, and terrific moments, such as the mental trap for Rose the Hat, that was delicious and fun.
I am very glad to see it again with you two, it was great to see you both enjoy it.
20:09 Tony was his imaginary friend when he was a kid in the first movie. It was what he called his power. He described him as the little boy who lived in his mouth. It was Tony's voice toward the end that was shouting REDRUM right before Jack started chopping into the door with an axe.
They pointed this out at 21:44
22:35 Wendy can't look at Danny due too her seeing Jack in his eyes. So he changed his eye color in the mirror.
I cannot stop watching this movie over and over. Abracadabra!
Ever since my heart stopped a couple months ago I have been feeling all of this alcohol pain. I am feeling everyone's pain and emotions even more. Watching this movie hits so hard. I feel like a "pusher" now. There is so much I wanna say but I just can't. Just wanna say how much I love yall's reactions. They help me out so much. You have no idea seeing the two of you together makes me happy. So sweet! Makes me miss my old life. But yall give me such good energy and just wanna say thank you. Thank you forever!❤❤❤
Strange film, in-so-far it is both a semi-sequel to both the book and the film, at the same time...despite their inconsolable differences with plot.
It's a good film, but honestly...I would have cried if they had use the likeness and voices of the original cast. Speaking of crying...a little factoid; When filming the scene of the True Knot torturing the Baseball Boy, the actor's screams were so realistic, it caused the whole cast and crew to cry afterwards, and constant takes, due to them asking if he was OK. A very respectable film (during unrespectable times) a well-crafted dark fantasy, which genre has been sorely missing since the 80s!
The fact the old guy lived for thousands of years is nuts
Hey guys! I so much appreciate that you came and watch the sequel so close after you've watched the original. This is SO underrated movie, it pretty much bombed in the box office when it came out because of bad timing and the time passed after "The Shining". I watched it alone in the cinema cause my then gf was not in the country and I was thinking some time before the end (as I've read the book and knew how much time approximately there's left) "Why the F did my second beer is over, was I drinking faster than usual?", cause usually I get to drink two beers during a movie. After I went out of the cinema, I checked and discovered it (the theatrical version) was 2 1/2 hours long. I was in awe. Really, really underrated movie with some great visuals, great story and fantastic acting. Especially Rebecca Ferguson (Rose "the Hat") just blew me away with her performance.
So happy that you've enjoyed it too and I had to re-live it through your reaction. Cheers!
2:02 Rose to Violet "Its a magic hat. Do you want to see ?" TBR shakes his head. Nope. lol
Stephen King hit it out of the park with this one. He took The Shining and built a completely new story out of it.
I love this adaptation. I don't know how Mike Flanagan managed to stay so reliable to both the books and the Kubrick film (especially as Kubrick's film differs to King's material) but he absolutely nailed it. Such a stellar cast and I also love that it has the music from the first film too. Loved your reactions, guys, and glad you enjoyed it too.
Epic movie. One of the best follow ups to an original classic. If only more movies were this good. Instead of half hearted sequels and remakes / reboots. This movie gave me chills. Such a good movie. Such a good continuation.
A great sequel and companion to the book and film The Shining.
Dick Hallorann tells Danny that “shining” is, at its core, a fusion of telepathy and clairvoyance. Being able to shine means being able to communicate with others using the mind, and gives people the ability to see things that have happened in the past, or will happen in the future.
There’s also no major revelation about the connection between Dan and Abra in the movie. In the book, when Dan goes to visit Concetta (book character) , he learns that Abra’s mother is none other than Jack Torrance’s daughter. Yes, the book’s version of Dan and Abra’s mom are half-siblings, which means that the character that Abra chooses to call “Uncle Dan” really is, well, Uncle Dan. This fact might have made it easier to understand why Abra and Dan maintain such a firm connection, and possibly even suggest that shining powers are hereditary
the shine is known as psionic power i love the way steven king created the worlds throughout his career even the dark tower references the shining in people
This movie is soooooooo much better than it should have been. Great reaction. Good shit.
I love this movie and the interpretation of the shine. They gave the power of the shine a real life kid of witchdoctor/ mystical vibe. That has existed for centuries but we have never truly understood it. I am so glad you both reacted to this movie and that you got what they were going for with the portrayal of relationship between Danny and Amber.
45:35 love that you mentioned the watchmen line, the scene with young danny also made me think of that on my first watch!
I straight up LOVED this movie. Really enjoyed your reaction, too!
Man takes a drink, drink takes a drink, drink takes a man could be the story of Jack. Mike Flanagan killed it 👏👏👏
"He fucks up ghosts. Do you think he's afraid of some bar guy?" LOL
Always enjoy the commentary on this channel.
You know it’s good if the jump scares causes physical injuries now that’s a movie! Hope y’all ok really enjoy your reactions and look forward to them especially Saturday night!
Such a good movie.
In the book, Dan is actually related to Abra. I think she is like his half niece. Her mother or father is one of Jack's children from an affair.
Ther term "Pusher" was one Stephen King used in "Firestarter", which was the Dad's skill, making people see what he wants them to... It feels almost like King's worlds are colliding...
Book Spoiler....The hotel explodes in the Shining book. Jack was supposed to let off the pressure but in his haste to try to kill Danny and Wendy he forgets about it. So having the hotel burn in this film is a fitting end for Stephen King. He out lived Kubrick so he gets to end it his way. Also, there is no maze in the book. There are hedge animals, a lion and a dog I think, and they come alive and attack the cook when he is coming up the mountain to the hotel.
"The Shining" movie is very different than the book. In the movie Jack is portrayed as the villain, but in the book the hotel is the villain, and Jack is its victim. He wasn't crazy; it was like the hotel possessed him as a means to trap Danny there. This movie does a great job of tying together the differences between the book and movie. The phrase "take your medicine" comes from the book when Jack is chasing Danny in the hotel (with a croquet mallet, not an axe). Also, the boiler, not a hedge maze, is central to the story's climax in the book.
That’s why Stephen King hated the shining because it didn’t capture the complexity of Jack and Kubrick made Wendy into like a stereotypical whining wife when she was very fierce in the book. I wonder since Doctor sleep came out will there be more movies where they show other with the shining like Charlie McGee and more films from the Dark tower universe
I think the movie did a great job of paying homage to the film and the book, The Shining. Great reaction!
BTW, Jack was played by Elliott from E.T. :) Tripped me out when I realized who it was.
Criminally underrated movie. Most people just didn’t get it. I think it’s phenomenal. A very worthy sequel to The Shining.
Such a great movie. And to add a little spooky to the mix, my mom used to be a nurse at a nursing home. She often told stories about a cat being seen by patients who were soon to die. Until I saw this movie, always thought it was just a localized legend, but I’m guessing it’s a folklore around enough that even Stephen King was aware of it.
kinda dumb but after seeing this movie i have a tony theory
About the Tony thing, tony is dannys imaginary friend in the shining which, put in the context of this movie, could've been another shiner speaking with danny as he does with abra. He warns danny about the hotel in the beginning of the movie and shows him images of the future when danny asks why he doesnt want them to go to the overlook. He comforts danny when he is horrified by the twins in the hall scene. He basically takes over dannys body when he seems to completely shut down from stress in the late half of the movie, and he (from my interpretation) seems to wake up and warn wendy right before the axe scene by picking up a knife and literally screaming murder right next to her while shes napping. It actually makes a lot of sense looking at it from this perspective as he started talking to tony after jack dislocated his arm, and shiners seem to connect with each other strongly during extreme times of emotional distress,
I'm seeing this movie for the first time in this reaction. I just noticed that the actor portraying "Lloyd" the bartender is Henry Thomas. He was the little boy who made friends with ET The Extraterrestrial.
Idk if y'all know yet but the person who played jack in this was the person who played Elliot in ET
This movie gives the idea the original bartender, Lloyd, that Jack Torrence talked to was his father, Danny’s grandfather in the original movie.
Just rewatching some of your vids, this channel really is one of my faves.
In the original novel of The Shining, the hotel blew up from the boiler and Dick survived. So, when King wrote the sequel, Doctor Sleep, the ending would be different. Mike Flanagan, the director, brilliantly combined elements of the original film's ending and the sequel's book ending.
Mike also adapted King's Gerald's Game and is currently working on adapting the epic 7-novel series, The Dark Tower by King.
This is a phenomenal film. Great reaction!
One thing thats neat, and is a testament to Ewan McGregors acting skills, is that he plays Danny's character in a way thats similar to the kid from The Shining. Its subtle, but he has the same stutters. You can tell he practiced that.
Some people found the re-casting of the Jack and Wendy characters to be weird and distracting. Honestly, they really worked for me. They were both pretty spot. This film, overall, is pretty great. Mike Flanagan can really direct the hell out of things. Oculus is really underrated. I just hope he deosn't get too pigeonholed as a 'horror' durector. I really want to what he do with other genres.
He did such a a great job, love it.

Jack was a little distracting. The rest were great
Doctor Sleep is a great example of a next-gen sequel done right. Pays homage to the original while expanding the story and exploring how the shining destroyed Danny's life (but ultimately saves his soul). Fantastic casting too. Ewan absolutely crushes it, and Rebecca Ferguson is a chillingly enticing villain.
I remember watching this in the pictures and I loved it all. I was hoping for the last act to be in the hotel. When I saw it , I was like this has been fantastic. I didn't even know Mike Flanagan did it until the credits popped up. My favourite director right now.
One of my top 3 favourite movies of 2019. That as well as Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Endgame. When
Was fun reliving Doctor Sleep with ya. Great show, was finally "right on, they didn't fuck up another Stephen Kng story", great ambience throughout the show. Happy new year. This was almost like having company. Cheers.
