Doctor Sleep	comment	Doctor Sleep is a 2019 horror film based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, which is a sequel to The Shining. The film itself is a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film adaptation of The Shining. It was written and directed by Mike Flanagan and stars Ewan McGregor, Kyliegh Curran, and Rebecca Ferguson.Still scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook Hotel, Dan Torrance (McGregor) has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra (Curran), a courageous teenager with her own powerful shine. Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat (Ferguson) and her followers, the True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality.Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose and the True Knot. Abra's innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before â€“ at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.The film was released on November 8th, 2019.Previews: Teaser, Trailer.

Doctor Sleep / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The film is far more graphic and violent than both the book and the first book's film adaptation that it follows. Also, the film starts off bleaker as Jack Torrance has become a resident/slave of the Overlook and the hotel has remained standing albeit abandoned. Hallorann is here to advise Danny but he's a Spirit Advisor from the start in this adaptation. During the final showdown with Rose, Danny and Abra don't have Jack to help in the fight, and Danny must resort to more desperate measures by releasing the Overlook's ghosts from his mind prison, which opens him up to possession after Rose is dealt with. To top it all off, Danny gives his life to ensure that the Overlook goes up in flames; Abra having him as a Spirit Advisor is the main consolation.

During the climax of the film as Rose tortures Dan and feeds on his Shine, the scene is shot to be reminiscent of a rape scene complete with looks of near-orgasmic ecstasy for the former and terrified defiance for the latter.

Doctor Sleep / int_20f689e9	comment	In the novel, Jack Torrance's spirit helps Abra and Danny to kill Rose. In the movie, he appears inside the hotel bar, having seemingly taken Lloyd's place, and tells him to "take his medicine" like Kubrick's Jack did in the original movie. It does tie into the Adaptational Villainy he received in Kubrick's version of The Shining, in which he was a fundamentally unpleasant man as opposed to the tortured but well-meaning father and husband he was in the novel. Dan may have been speaking to the hotel itself, which might have been using his father's form. Even the subtitles call him Lloyd rather then Jack.

Similarly, despite being a powerful Eldritch Location, the Overlook Hotel is just as flammable as any other old building. Overload the boilers until they explode and the whole thing will go up in flames.

Doctor Sleep / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Doctor Sleep / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Dan's landlady in Frasier first calls him a "pup," which is what Jack called little Danny while chasing him through the hotel in the novel version of The Shining. The room number in the hospice where Dan first helps someone pass on in peace is "217." This is a reference to how the Overlook's haunted hotel room number was "217" in the original book version of The Shining, and it was changed to "237" in the Kubrick film on behalf of the Timberline Lodge (where the majority of the film was shot). Snakebite Andi is watching Casablanca in the movie theater here instead of Raiders of the Lost Ark like she was in the original novel. This is likely because Casablanca is Mike Flanagan's favorite film. When Abra is searching on her school's computer lab, among the destinations briefly listed on the monitor are Jerusalem's Lot and Castle Rock. Abra gives Dan the Affectionate Nickname of "Uncle Dan." As noted under Unrelated in the Adaptation, Dan actually was her uncle in the original novel version of Doctor Sleep. Abra's family has "1980" as part of their home address. Stanley Kubrick's version of The Shining was originally released in 1980. When Dan is talking to the Overlook version of Jack Torrance in the Gold Room, Overlook!Jack/"Lloyd" tells Dan that alcohol is "the medicine" to life's misfortunes. This can be seen as a subtle allusion to the original book version of The Shining, where Jack often threatened Danny by warning him "You're gonna take your medicine!" Dan's outfit in the climax of the film is an exact copy of Jack's from the final act of Kubrick's version of The Shining; the injuries he sustains while fighting Rose also reflect the wounds Jack sustained from Wendy fighting him off, with both of these heavily foreshadowing Dan's possession by the Overlook and similarly Axe-Crazy rampage against Abra. The film's climax is a (more or less) close retelling of the climax to the original book version of The Shining, with Dan replacing Jack and Abra replacing Danny.

Doctor Sleep / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: Abra's great-grandmother Concetta, who served an important role in the climax of the novel, makes no appearances here aside from a direct mention about Abra's mother going to see her, and the final confrontation unfolds very differently. Horace Derwent, due to his Demoted to Extra status in the first movie, doesn't follow Dan home, nor does he appear as Dan's secret weapon like he did in the novel. He is, however, among the Overlook ghosts that kill Rose during the climax and then go on to possess Dan. Likewise with Concetta, Bradley Trevor's measles is taken out of the movie. In the novel, some of the True Knot slowly die off from it due to their weakened states of not eating well enough (and the fact that Rose the Hat had been hording the Steam for their own good). This includes Grandpa Flick, which is why he Dies Differently in Adaptation, and appears to die from old age and not consuming enough Steam. The number of people in True Knot are limited compare to the novel, where they are literally in the dozens. This makes sense in the long run as it would have cost more to cast more characters.

When Rose seeks out Abra's sleeping mind through Astral Projection to extract information from it, Abra was already waiting for her, trapping her hand in a file cabinet so she can peruse Rose's mind for information instead. Dan and Abra set up a trap for most of the True Knot by planting a psychic image of Abra onto an ordinary stuffed rabbit to lure them to a remote campsite were Dan and Billy take them out with hunting rifles. In the climax, Dan and Abra go to the Overlook Hotel, knowing that Rose will follow them. They attempt to trap her spirit in Dan's mind first, but when that fails, they are forced to awaken the far more dangerous Hotel to devour her.

Danny's guilt over doing this drives him to turn his life around and put an end to his alcoholism. Barry the Chunk lures Bradley the Baseball Kid by complimenting his baseball playing skills, only to cruelly mock him later on when he and the True Knot torture, feed on, and ultimately murder him. Snakebite Andi forces Billy to kill himself in a final act of spite. Additionally, before that, she lured a man into her presence, hypnotized him with her voice, then carved a "snake bite" pattern into his face, robbing him afterward (though admittedly he had it coming since he was a pedophile). It's implied this is nowhere near the first person she's done this to, either. Rose the Hat twists her fingers in Dan's leg wound during the climax as she tries to feed off of his Shine.

Doctor Sleep / int_3de32c52	type	Unrelated in the Adaptation
Doctor Sleep / int_3de32c52	comment	Unrelated in the Adaptation: In the novel, Abra's mother, Lucy, was the result of her mother having an affair with Jack Torrance, possibly during the period Jack and Wendy had a brief separation as mentioned in the first book, meaning that Dan actually is Abra's uncle. This is not present in the movie, possibly since most of the novel's exposition and supporting cast was either cut or Demoted to Extra. Word of God from Mike Flanagan mentions that the change was also influenced by a desire to make the Shining seem more like something anyone could have as opposed to a bloodline-based inheritance. However, he also noted that there's enough ambiguity and lack of comment either way in the film to leave the relationship remain possible.

Doctor Sleep / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Doctor Sleep / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The True Knot are quasi-immortal serial killers. However, the emphasis here is on "quasi-immortal"; they can still be hurt and even killed. And since they exclusively target children that they can physically overpower, they never consider Abra or any potential allies she might have a threat until she lures most of them into a trap, allowing Dan and Billy to pick them off in a hilariously one-sided gunfight. To wit: they're all using pistols and blindly firing in Dan and Billy's general direction, while Dan and Billy are hiding uphill, behind trees, and using scoped hunting rifles. Furthermore, while their consumption of Steam helps slow down the aging process, it can ultimately do only so much; entropy is a universal force for a reason, and Grampa Flick's death in this take on the novel is from a mix of a lack of proper Steam consumption and the simple fact that he's too old for his body to keep up anymore. Similarly, in the previous film, it's mentioned that the past tragedies of the Overlook Hotel made it increasingly harder for the management to get anyone to keep working there and they were slowly going out of business. So it isn't that much of a surprise when it turns out that after Jack Torrance's breakdown in The '80s, the place was finally seen as too much of a hassle to keep running and so was closed down in this film. In reality, a Hell Hotel like the Overlook or other similarly haunted location wouldn't be able to keep running for any notable length of time after a series of high-profile murders and would get shut down. Adding to the above, in the novel the Overlook's destruction allowed Wendy and Hallorann to cover up Jack's rampage, saying he died heroically. It helped he was more sympathetic and never killed anyone. As the movie Overlook and therefore the evidence of Jack's rampage was never destroyed, as well as Jack murdering Hallorann, his crimes became public knowledge.

However, the latter comes at the cost of Danny's life and Bradley (the Baseball Boy), Billy and Abra's father Dave are all dead. There is also the implication that Rose wasn't actually the last of the True Knot thus meaning that more could arise to hunt Abra down. Really, one of the only cemented positives is that Danny takes on the role of a spiritual adviser in a vein similar to Hallorann for Abra.

Doctor Sleep / int_48c99e19	comment	Death by Adaptation: Dan dies in the film when he stays behind in the hotel after overloading the boiler, just like Jack in the original novel version of The Shining. Abra's father Dave and Dan's friend Billy Freeman both die during the fight with the True Knot. A weird example with the Overlook itself — it was blown up sky-high in the original Shining novel but was Spared by the Adaptation in the film (the climax of the Doctor Sleep novel still happens where the Overlook was, but the site was turned into a park). So Danny gets to finish the job. An odd case with Deenie - the girl Dan picked up at a bar and left unconscious the next morning, after stealing the money she had left in her purse. In the movie, it is heavily implied she died that very day and her child starved to death. In the novel, Deenie survived that incident no worse for wear and died of another cause entirely. Her ghost was friendly enough to warn Dan to stay from Rose. Her son, likewise, died of something else. The movie simply "accelerated" their deaths so that Dan was directly responsible.

At the same time though, many other key ambiguities about the first film are preserved, namely Jack's connection to the Overlook (specifically how he could've "always been the Caretaker"), how big of a role the Overlook played in Jack's descent into insanitynote Hallorann implies that Jack was driven to murder at least partly by the hotel and the hotel overtly possesses Dan, robs him of his free will, and has him mirror his father's rampage in the climax, but doesn't explain more than that; the fact that Dan is the antithesis of Jack also opens room to infer that Jack was more willing than his son was, especially with how readily he connected with the ghosts in the Gold Room, what caused the hotel to become a Genius Loci in the first place, and the nature of the 1921 photograph with Jack in it. In fact, Jack's appearance as Lloyd the bartender throws even further mystery into the Overlook and especially its relationship with Jack. Dan brings up his childhood imaginary friend Tony when he meets Abra, describing "him" as just what he called his own Shining abilities and not an actual personality. However, after Abra is captured by Crow and Dan is nearly driven to drink in despair, Dan calls out to Tony, wishing he was there to help him. Aside from the use of "Redrum" during the Baseball Boy's death, no elements of Tony's presence appears in the film beyond Dan's mentions, leaving the question of is reality posed in Kubrick's film still unanswered.note Tony is actually still around in the original novel of Doctor Sleep, not only nudging Dan along to the hospice he finds work at, but befriending Abra as well and helping her find and meet up with Dan. Abra cracking "Redrum" into Dan's wall in the film could be a reference to this connection, but no elaboration is made of it.

Here, while Rose and Crow are still romantically linked, Rose has more of a "mentor/pupil" dynamic regarding Andi so as to reflect the similar relationship between Dan and Abra.

Doctor Sleep / int_736d791f	comment	Adaptational Badass: The True Knot in general. Crow Daddy dies the same way as Umbrae in Us, being catapulted through a windscreen and into a tree, rather than being forced to turn a gun on himself by Abra's superior mental powers. He dies being taunted by Abra the same way Rose does in the book. Snakebite Andi, rather than screaming the name of her abusive father as she is tortured to death, manages to pull a Taking You with Me and goes out with a smile. Rose is much less easily provoked and manipulated and mostly reacts with Tranquil Fury to the deaths of her comrades. In the final showdown, she effortlessly brushes aside all of Dan and Abra's attempts at tricking or capturing her, corners Dan on the stairs in the same way his father did his mother in the book and while in the book she was taken down by the combined efforts of Dan, Abra and Jack Torrance, in this, Dan is forced to unleash all of the monsters of the Overlook Hotel from their prison in his mind, and they consume her before turning their attention to him.

This results in two very bad outcomes: Rose stays behind instead of going with the other to capture Abra, meaning that she is free to come after Abra and Dan after powering up. Crow doesn't go with the group to the park, so he survives the ambush and kills Abra's father, then captures her. Additionally, while it was a Godzilla Threshold that had to be crossed so as to get rid of Rose the Hat once and for all, Danny "waking up" the Overlook Hotel and freeing its imprisoned ghosts results in the Overlook possessing him and almost killing Abra so as to gain possession of their Shines.

Immediately after, they turn their attention to Dan, who attempts to put them back in their boxes but gets overwhelmed and possessed. The ghosts then use his body to try to kill Abra. Subverted in that Dan expected this to happen, he may have attempted to defend himself but he expected that he'd be taken over. That's why he rigged the boilers to overheat and burn the hotel down as the first thing he did when he entered the hotel. The only real kink in the plan is that he didn't expect Abra to ignore his order for her to flee the hotel while he was dealing with Rose, so he has to try to fight the ghosts off to avoid killing her.

Doctor Sleep / int_bce16d24	comment	Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: With her Compelling Voice, Andi could have made Dan shoot himself like she did with Bill. Instead she makes him sleep and tries to shoot him then, an act that takes long enough to be foiled. Considering Dan and Bill killed most of the True Knot this way with no problem or effort, it's quite jarring Dan didn't even try to do this with Rose, but instead set up an elaborate and very risky trap.

Doctor Sleep / int_bd5e8cd9	comment	Urban Fantasy: The film is about an older psychic and his younger charge fighting against a group of ancient vampire-analogues. However, it's also set in the modern-day United States, and modern technology such as cell phones, hunting rifles, and even computer labs are used by the characters as they try to stay one step ahead of the other.

Doctor Sleep / int_c10da874	type	The '80s
Doctor Sleep / int_c10da874	comment	Similarly, in the previous film, it's mentioned that the past tragedies of the Overlook Hotel made it increasingly harder for the management to get anyone to keep working there and they were slowly going out of business. So it isn't that much of a surprise when it turns out that after Jack Torrance's breakdown in The '80s, the place was finally seen as too much of a hassle to keep running and so was closed down in this film. In reality, a Hell Hotel like the Overlook or other similarly haunted location wouldn't be able to keep running for any notable length of time after a series of high-profile murders and would get shut down.

Doctor Sleep / int_c181a846	type	Dies Differently in Adaptation
Doctor Sleep / int_c181a846	comment	The True Knot are quasi-immortal serial killers. However, the emphasis here is on "quasi-immortal"; they can still be hurt and even killed. And since they exclusively target children that they can physically overpower, they never consider Abra or any potential allies she might have a threat until she lures most of them into a trap, allowing Dan and Billy to pick them off in a hilariously one-sided gunfight. To wit: they're all using pistols and blindly firing in Dan and Billy's general direction, while Dan and Billy are hiding uphill, behind trees, and using scoped hunting rifles. Furthermore, while their consumption of Steam helps slow down the aging process, it can ultimately do only so much; entropy is a universal force for a reason, and Grampa Flick's death in this take on the novel is from a mix of a lack of proper Steam consumption and the simple fact that he's too old for his body to keep up anymore.

Doctor Sleep / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: Abra and Danny trick Rose into getting lost in the latter's mind, with Abra trying to distract Rose for long enough that Danny can use his "suitcase" method to trap the last member of the True Knot. Unfortunately, Rose eventually realizes that she isn't actually in Abra's mind, with her then shattering the suitcase that Danny sent to imprison her and freeing herself from their trap. After the ghosts of the hotel possess Dan and have him try to kill Abra, he is able to break free of the possession right before he plants his axe into Abra's head. However, he is only able to hold it off briefly before it takes him again, just long enough to say his goodbyes to Abra.

Doctor Sleep / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Doctor Sleep / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Hallorann and little Danny sitting on a bench and the former character handing over a box resembles the "Life is like a box of chocolate" scene from Forrest Gump. As Dan tries to comfort one of the hospice patients as he dies, he and the patient sing "Come Fly With Me" together. Several RWBY posters (one of them being for Volume 5 of the series) appear in Abra's bedroom with an Emerald Sustrai figurine beside her bed. Her mental projection while ambushing Rose the Hat in her mind even has Emerald's hair. Snakebite Andi is introduced watching Casablanca in an old-fashioned movie theater. When talking to Andi in private, Rose describes Andi's Compelling Voice powers as her being a "pusher." The film makes the Steam canisters very similar to the idea of Monsters, Inc. scream cannisters. When Abra traps Rose the Hat's hand in a drawer in her mind, Rose is forced to nearly tear all the skin off of her hand in order to escape. Director Mike Flanagan's last film, Gerald's Game (which was also a Stephen King adaptation), also featured a woman who had to do the exact same thing to escape her predicament. This trap might also/alternatively bring to mind a trap from the Saw series. During Rose and Abra's psychic duel, Abra's mental projections make it look similar to the library filing system in one's mind as seen in the film version of Dreamcatcher. When Abra rides the bus into Frasier, one of the street signs she passes while trying to evade a mysterious monster that preys on children and can stalk others through their dreams is called "Elm Street." The film also has lots of references to The Dark Tower. What makes this particularly interesting is that this marks the second Stephen King adaptation that Mike Flannagan has directed which references The Dark Tower where its original source material did not. When Dick Hallorann and Dan meet in the hospice room, Dick says that "Ka is a wheel, doc." Additionally, the word "ka" can be seen spelled out with Abra's toys on the shelf behind her bed. When Snakebite Andi is leaving the theater, a poster can be seen advertising "Joe Collins Live!". This is a reference to Joe Collins (a.k.a. Dandelo), an emotional vampire featured in The Dark Tower who feeds on laughter instead of fear like the True Knot does. The Baseball Boy's number is 19, and all the buses bear a reference to Tet. When the True Knot abduct the Baseball Boy, they take him to an abandoned factory run by LaMerk Industries, a corporation responsible for making several robots and cyborgs prominently featured in The Dark Tower. A drawing of a rose can been seen stuck to the Stone family's refrigerator, and a rose stalk is positioned above Abra's bed. Roses are an important Arc Symbol in The Dark Tower, being representations of the titular Dark Tower itself throughout The Multiverse. When talking to "Lloyd" in the Overlook Hotel, Dan briefly mentions how when he was younger, he could tell that someone was going to die soon by the "death flies" he'd see covering their faces. This is a subtle allusion to the flies released by John Coffey whenever he'd cure a person from disease in The Green Mile. Dan as a ghost tells Abra that sometimes people need to "take a stand" against the horrors of the world.

This contrast is perhaps best showcased when Dan is briefly allowed to possess Abra and he casually use her power to solve the problem of Crow Daddy kidnapping her in about a minute.
