Overall as an avid fan of horror movies and King I enjoyed this movie a lot and might even say it's one of the best horror movies of the year.Doctor Sleep is a 2013 horror novel by American writer Stephen King and the sequel to his 1977 novel The Shining. I didn't find Doctor Sleep to be very scary I might classify it as more thriller, there were a few jump scares and a few shots disgusted me but nothing really shook me to my core, which is fine. Ferguson put in so much emotion into her character and her expressions throughout the movie were just so unsettling, it was pure perfection. The acting is pretty decent but in my opinion Rebecca Ferguson absolutely shined as Rose the Hat.
Doctor sleep includes a constant mist in the settings, there are a lot of dramatic slow panoramic shots, and the music is eerie and impactful.
The way the movie was filmed and edited really exemplified a typical horror movie. Overall I think Mike Flanagan was able to deliver. I didn't have a ton of expectations going into this movie but I thoroughly enjoyed The Shining (like much of the human population) so I was expecting a good continuation of the original story line.
