Review of Doctor Sleep

I wasn't sure in what way this movie was connected to The Shining to which it is the official sequel. Well some scenes are recreated with other actors, so no CGI versions or altered images. Doctor Sleep is about Danny (or Doc), the kid who's father went rather nuts in The Shining. He had a rough life but managed to contain the demons from the Overlook hotel and moves to another town to start again. But off course there are other evildoers at large... It clocks in at 2,5 hours and actually feels a bit like a TV series. It's good entertainment and it keeps you interested and engaged but takes a decent while to get going. McGregor does a decent job, but the star of the movie is Rebecca Furgusson as she makes for a charismatic antagonist. As most movies these days it's not actually very scary but it has a good atmosphere and has good production values. I guess it's a recommended watch for Shining fans but I won't be watching this again anytime soon, because of the length and also because it's far from a classic. 7,5/10 for me!
