Mike Flanagan is becoming rapidly in a must-see director for me. If he pulled this off the man is a force to be reckoned with in the genre
This has got to be one of the most underrated RUclips channels out there. Deserves 100k plus at least. You can see the passion and dedication.
Thanks alot man
King's idea for the Doctor Sleep book came when somebody asked him at a book signing about what happened to Danny after The Shining and he thought about it himself and decided to write a story dealing with it.
Somebody needs to ask him about Charlie from Firestarter!
@@matthewpayne411 and Ellie Creed from pet semetary
Ellie went insane and killed her grandparents as per the dialogue in Pet Semetary 2, which was directed by the same director that did the first movie, Mary Lambert @@M.M.Morris
I just loved the sweeping landscape shots during Danny and Abras drive up to the most dreaded place on the planet. The original theme mixed with the flawless recreation shot of the lake and the mountains was perfection.
I loved how they kept the music from the original
This movie totally sucked me in from the start and held my attention the entire time. Fantastic cinematography.
Mike Flanagan incorporates elements from the novel version of The Shining that Kubrick omitted. For those who love the novel version and were bitter ( me) these elements are only slight. But for us novel fans, it makes watching Doctor Sleep a joy. Take Your Medicine was a line that terrified me as a kid. It reminded me of my dad. I want to praise Henry Thomas for making his Jack Torrence a very real embodiment of how the character was written. I cannot be the only one who see elements of Jack Nicholson in Henry's performance. This is one of the best horror films to have come along.
For someone like myself where the shining is something I have seen probably over 200 times in my life, and easily a top 2 movie for me. This movie was fucking incredible. Glad you loved it Cody.
200 times?
Chronic_Breakdown Maybe a tad use of hyperbole. Point is, I’ve seen it enough to know every scene inside and out, every musical cue, every line of dialogue. I was watching it every day for a period of 2-3 months lol. Anyways, I know the movie, and did not anticipate in any way loving Dr Sleep the way I did. Mike Flanagan is awesome.
What’s the top 1?
Imagine if Mike Flanagan did the Pet Sematary remake. And do it the way he did Doctor Sleep and Gerald's Game. Damn that would have been awesome.
I wish.
Did you know the overlook was built on an Indian burial ground.
It seems weird shit happens in the Steven King universe when you mess around with Indian burial grounds.
Overlook hotel location.
Souls get trapped for eternity by the hotel and get co-opted into serving, or get eaten by malevolent ghosts.
Pet Sematary.
Weird monsters roaming the swamps and demonic/malevolent entities or spirits can jump into vacant meat suits so they can bad things.
I'm starting to become a big fan of this guy. I wish he had done IT. I liked IT (ch. 1 anyways) but felt a bit too mainstream and safe.. Hopefully King keeps him in mind for future adaptations. Easily my favorite King adaptation of the last 10 or 15 years, at least.
@@dormammusubjective5774 I love IT 2017. Andy Muschietti did a great job with it. I didn't think it was too mainstream/safe, it's about kids after all, yet they showed Georgie getting his arm ripped off and stuff like that.
@@Robalexe t was a really good adaptation. I'm not trying to bash it, I guess I just compared the two and doctor sleep was a bit edgier. By doing that, it was probably part of the reason why it didn't do so well financially.. If that makes any sense.. If Dr. Sleep hadn't been made, I would have called IT the best King adaptation of the last decade. I thought 2 was.. just okay. Though, Bill Hader is my favorite current actor from his work on Barry and he and a few of the other cast members were great in it.
@@dormammusubjective5774 Yeah, IT 2 was ok. Chapter 1 was much better.
Yep, one of the most pleasant surprises of this year for me, too. I loved how Flanagan managed to give a huge respect to Kubrick's version while keeping King's version intact. Hell, he even managed to find actors who resemble strikingly well with the ones in Kubrick's movie. Kudos!
Agreed
A movie about Rose the Hat and how the True Knot formed would be awesome!
I love that you touched so much on Rebecca Ferguson and how hard it is to hate her like you're supposed to hate the villain lol. Especially after the kid scene which in and of itself had me FLOORED. That was ballsy. But omg, I was still almost rooting for her and was mad at myself for it. She stole the whole movie and I'm still obsessed with her.
This is easily one of the greatest horror movie sequels I've ever seen. It was really well done.
As for the runtime, the 3 hour director's cut works really well despite being so long, and there's plenty of added scenes that just make things much more disturbing by simply alluding to something, and not throwing it in your face. Plus the director's cut adding the "Chapter" titles for every segment was such a good idea.
I swear dude, this movie was so great and so perfect, there were so many nods to The Shining (which is one of my favorite movies ever) and recreating the characters of that movie and then the emotion in this movie when people die and how masterful the horror aspects were in this movie, it damn near makes me cry because of how rare of a movie like this is nowadays with all the bullshit CGI jumpy shit movies.
Having read the book, I believe Flanagan did an excellent job with this adaption of Doctor Sleep. Yes, I totally agree with you Cody that Rose the Hat is such a wonderful villain and I would love to see Rebecca Ferguson come back to play this character. I know this will be on my Top 10 Best Horror movies of the year.
I think Mike Flanagan is becoming one of my favorite directors. He did this film justice with The Shining. His other works like Hush, Gerald's Game are some of the best horror movies I'd ever seen. I love The Shining and I was pleased with what I got out of this. And I loved how they ended this movie. It was The Shining novels actual ending, which is a nice touch.
"All work and no play make Cody something something."
YOU COULD NOT HAVE MADE A MORE PERFECT INTRO 😂
I know you said this movie felt a bit padded, but I recommend you see the directors cut. It’s adds a whole 30 minutes extra and gives those times that may have felt padded time to slow down and come into themselves.
I know it seems counterproductive but definitely give it a watch, this movie definitely deserves it.
Really enjoyed your review too
What Danny does for a hospital job feels like what he was destined to use his gift for. That totally makes sense.
Fantastic movie!!! I loved the first two hours most (following the evil exploits of the True Knot and Danny as he stays sober and becomes an orderly in the hospice). I honestly wish there had been more time spent with him as he gave peace to some of the elderly patients- some of my favorite parts.
We definitely need another good horror film this year for the little time we have left my man.
Don't forget the Black Christmas remake coming out. Ha ha I kid, I kid. If horror had a "Most unnecessary remake that gave away everything in the trailer" category this one would probably take home the cheese. But hey, gotta capitalize on that Halloween money.
Tony S the movie drops December Friday the 13th. We have something else to look forward to that day. Cody’s Friday the 13th kill ranking!
Scary stories and ready or not
Lil MauMau I didn’t see those.
@@capitalcitygoofball1987 there was already a black Christmas remake
Doctor Sleep is so good it makes me want to go and read the book. I'm not really a fan of the Shining but this movie actually made the Shining more interesting. A great surprise that one day will be considered a classic in its own right.
MrHootiedean The second half of the book is very very different from the movie, so it’s definitely worth reading.
Stephen King (looking at script for Dr. Sleep): This is one of the best movies that'll never see the light of day.
Mike Flanagan (smiling): It's already been green-lit.
Stephen King is now a very happy author, and we are now a very happy audience. Shine on, good sir. Shine on. 😊👍
Can’t wait to watch this movie, as someone who read the novel I’m very intrigued to see how they integrate The Overlook scenes since there is very little mention of it in the book but I trust Mike Flanagan fully with how he has handled it 👍
I’m glad to see you’ve enjoyed it and that gave me that bit extra faith to what I already thought was going to be an awesome adaptation 🤘🤘
Seeing this tomorrow. Watched 3 mins of your review, and I’m stopping there. I got enough info. After my viewing I’ll continue the video on the ride home lol
Saw Doctor Sleep tonight, Cody is 100% on point, amazing movie!! Go see it!
I loved this movie! Mike Flanagan is an amazing director; loved Haunting of Hill House, Gerald's Game, Oculus, Hush and now Dr. Sleep. Can't wait to see what he does next.
I have been biting my nails while cheering for this movie since it was announced a Shining Sequel was in development 3-5 years ago. This is literal music to my ears. Thanks for the awesome in-depth review, Cody!
Love the film feel like Ewan mcgregor is back and agree about the villain she was unreal also the last 30 mins was fan service at it’s finest
What a difference a week makes!!!!
After surviving Dark Fate the week before, Doctor Sleep was an example of how it's all done!
The idea of a sequel to The Shining is terrifying but holy shit they did good!!!
My wife and I just saw Dr. Sleep today. The Shining is one of my favorite horror movies of all times, and this one suprised me because how much I loved it. I got the novel Dr. Sleep the day it was released. After I tore through it in a few days I told my wife this could make a great film adaptation. Here it came and I only wanted a decent horror sequel and this film blew me away. I totally agree, this is probably the best horror film and over all film of 2019. The fan service you mentioned was done perfectly. I loved how it included a good bit tribute to shots and cinematography in The Shining. One of my favorites of Dr. Sleep is when Danny an Abra are driving up the mountain to the Overlook and we got the classic high and far sweeping shots reminiscent of Kubrick' s The Shining. Incredible movie, I'm blown away. I want to and probably will go see it in thr theatre again. So glad you enjoyed it as well Cody. Take care, ✌
I just saw the movie doctor sleep like 4 days ago and I enjoying it that movie is the best of 2019
You rocked that intro, love the review
I think Snakebite Andi's storyline actually was important to introduce the true knot. Everything we learned we learned through her eyes.
You nailed this review. This movie blew me away. I had no expectations at all and this was a breath of fresh air
I've been a massive fan of Mike Flanagan from day one - his debut feature Absentia is still one of my favourite films of all time, so it's great to see him landing a major production like this.
Agreed on Rose The Hat, an amazingly compelling villain - possibly the first truly iconic female monster? A Rose The Hat prequel please studio folks! (as an aside, watching this was a bit weird for me, as my partner dresses and does her hair like Rose in her everyday life...she's somewhat kinder to children though; nonetheless I've taken to calling her Jules The Hat now.)
I liked the fact that this felt like a director's cut - slow burns that explore character and world building are my thing, and I think even though this may have moved at a faster clip with some edits, ultimately that would have diminished the film as a whole. Personally I hope we get a director's cut with even more footage in it when it comes time for a home release.
Just saw this tonight, absolutely phenomenal! Had me sucked in from the first 5 minutes
First time watching one of your reviews. You did an amazing, articulate review! I loved this movie. I love Stephen King's novels. I read The Shining when it first came out. Later saw the movie. Loved them both. Then I read Doctor Sleep some years back, and loved that book. The movie was awesome, and I completely agree with your review. It draws you in, doesn't have unnecessary jump scares, and delves into the life of Danny as an adult. Slow build-up, tension, waiting for what's next. Rose the Hat was unforgettable. I was so drawn to her character (thanks to Rebecca Ferguson's superb acting), and I was almost mad at myself for being a little spellbound by her. Mike Flanagan is a very gifted director. I've seen all his movies and loved them all. I see this review was done 4 years ago. Since then, Flanagan also directed "Midnight Mass", which has become one of my favorite limited series. Could you please do a review on this series? I would love to hear what you think of it. To me, it was not just about "horror". It was so much more. Please, PLEASE do a review of this outstanding series!!! Thank you. New subscriber!
Thank you
Finally watched Doctor Sleep last evening. Managed to avoid spoilers for over 2 years and am very thankful that I did. What a Film this was. I loved the nods to the Shining. Nothing was done solely as fan service like you see in the David Gordon Green Halloween Series. Extremely heavy handed fan service bothers the hell out of me. This movie was absolutely haunting. I definitely did not expect them go where they did with the Children. Now after I’ve watched I’m sitting here the day after thinking about the horrors, pain, and fear that “Young Nell” from the beginning of the film had to have endured to fill a canister for the Cult folk. Love a movie that sticks with you after you watch and my goodness this on does. This was a Brilliant Film and you can tell Mike Flanagan has a love for the Shining and King. 2.5 hours for this film is why it has taken me this long to start it. My attention span is not suited for a 2.5 hour movie. But it didn’t really feel like a long film for me. A lot of the filler (Snake girl, Danny getting Sober, Grim Reaper Kitty) I was completely on board for.
Excellent review Mr Leach and thank you for all that you do for us nerds. Also, I am 100% on board for a “Rose the Hat” Prequel film.
Just got back from seeing it. One of the better all time sequels. Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm a massive fan of the original and read both books back to back last year so was was very apprehensive for it. The casting was really good and it's a great film and a great adaptation which made good changes to the book. You'll be hard pressed to find a better Stephen king adaptation in recent years and years to come.
I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I read the book, Dr. sleep, and you basically described everything that happens in the book even though you didn’t read the book. It’s nice to know that the movie pretty much follows the book to a T, while also changing certain things around to fit the movie. I’m so glad that the reviews that I’ve seen thus far have been really good and I can’t wait to see it whether I see it on digital download or I have the chance to see it in the theater.
So glad this film was done right and was waiting for your take on it Cody :)
Cody Throwin Shade On Blumhouse ;) Great Review Man
OMG Cody! that was the longest review ive ever seen..LOL..Appreciate your thoughts.Im glad to know you are a big fan of The Shining.Its in my top 5 horror/psych movies of all time. I watch it about 2-3 times a year. Jack Nicholson did such a great job and actually so did Shelley Duvall.Its so well done from the score to the cinematography to the cast to the sets,script,etc. You have to stop what you are doing just so you can totally pay attention to whats happening.And NO, they dont make them like this anymore.
Hey Cody, just bought/watched the Steelbook Directors Cut. OMG is it incredible. Whether it be entire scenes or just a moment or two added to the theatrical version the difference is astounding. It takes an already incredible movie and makes it just out of this world. It explains so so much more about each character and backstory. Have you bought the steelbook of this yet? If so, did you watch the directors cut, or just watch the theatrical version on 4K?
Great review Cody Leach we got to spread the word on this one
The thing is really loved how fast Rose The Head and her gang went from scaring villians, to SCARED AF villians.
You completely blown me away with this Review" just as Much as Dr.SLEEP has done for me. I definitely subbed 😁
Thank you
Love that Alter Bridge shirt my man! I loved this film, the Shining is my all-time favorite horror film, and this was a great sequel.
Movie was awesome and brought a tear to my eye. The themes of alcoholism and Dan paying tribute to his dad at the AA meeting, and the bar scene at the Overlook. Also the theme about people going on after they pass away.
Rose the Hat is relatable on a basic sense- - she doesn't want to take over the world. She's got a problem, she wants to protect her family, and she does what she has to do to preserve their status quo. The book ups the stakes when they catch the measles from the baseball boy and suddenly they are so vulnerable and need Abra badly.
The shining is one of my favourites and I absolutely loved this movie. The scene with the little boy was hard to watch though. Great review
The Shining is me and my father's favourite movie! I'm so happy the sequel sounds awesome! I'm stooooked for this!
I am a fan of both the novels and the films, and for me, Doctor Sleep is like the end of a family feud. That both Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick's estate to sign off on this adaptation is an accomplishment in itself! Mike Flanagan, at last, comes out as one of the really great directors of the new generation. I am eager to see where he goes next!
Great review, Cody! New subscriber!
Every time I think of Rose The Hat, an old Frankie Laine song, "ROSE, ROSE, I LOVE YOU," sounds through my head. Do any of you know that song? By the way, despite her evil, I didn't think that Rose The Hat was in the least bit scary.
Loved it too! Yet another great review, Cody! Always love your perspective.
Thank you!
I'd like to see Flanagan tackle The Stand, Salam's Lot, and especially the Dark Tower series. Oh God let him direct a theatrical, movie series of The Dark Tower. This series has it all... a true epic.
Nice review, Cody! I thought this was a really nice follow up that balances both King and Kubrick's styles. You make a good point about the Snakebite Andi character (and subplot) being fairly unnecessary though.
Any chance on Wrong Turn franchise reviews/ rankings?
I am so excited about this movie Cody. Thank you for your review. I can not wait to go see it now!!
This is my favorite RUclips channel I rewatch videos all the time just to hear some movie babble
Quick question: i didn't read the book, only watched original Stanley film... Is it a sequel more to that or King's version?
Both - it follows the book and references the first film too. IMDB explains it best I reckon (not a spoiler)"
"Mike Flanagan had to convince Stephen King that, despite his own distaste for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980), audiences were more familiar with that version, and largely preferred it to King's own The Shining (1997). As such, this film had to be a sequel to Kubrick's film and include some direct references to it."
I've seen the 3 hour director's cut. I thought it was excellent. I didn't think it was bloated or padded at all. I loved it.
Cody is one of the best movie reviewers on YT. Should have 10x more subs.
I just bought and watched Doctor Sleep and saw the Director's Cut. I thought it was awesome!! Are you going to do a review of it? If you already have, sorry. I know you love the theatrical version, but the Director's Cut adds so much more!
Did you watch the Director's Cut?
Great review man. Really enjoyed this film, thought it was great. Good nostalgia, but also was it's own thing. 4.5/5 for me.🤘loved child's play too.!!!😁
Great Review! Loved this film, but now that you mention it, it really does have some directors cut feel to it (which I guess makes sense because the Director was also the Editor).
Hell No it's not too drawn out! I love the directors cut even more!!! Absolutely love all the characters! Kyliegh Curran & Rebecca Ferguson are standout performances. As Cody always says, a favorite movie has to have that rewatchability and this movie has it in spades!!!
Yes! The entire time I was trying to think of what this film reminded me of and you're right, it's the characters from Near Dark!
I plan on seeing this on Sunday. I was wanting to know how you liked it. I actually read both books and wondered how they would do the movie. I wasn't thrilled that they changed it to be a sequel to the movie and not a sequel to the book. The book was great though, so here we go
My guess is that the “recruitment” scene is there as a way for exposition with the cult.
I highly agreed with you on "Pet Sematary" 2019.
I highly disagreed with you on "It: Chapter Two".
I'm curious to see where I'll stand with "Doctor Sleep".
It Chapter two was fine.
@The Eternal Induction Nah first one was better. The second one had some problems 😑😑. It was also very cheesy and alot of the jokes were horrible. On the other side of the coin AKA the good side...... Mike's ritual and the character of Mike.
@The Eternal Induction first one wasn't mediocre
The Eternal Induction yeah I prefer the adults over the kids too actually.
That Alter Bridge shirt though! My favorite band 🔥🔥🔥
Cody is on point on horror in 2019 i agree and with doctor sleep
I was BLOWN AWAY! Easily a Stand Alone Film BUT being a sequel made my day!!! Couldn't recommend this movie enough!!! Go in with NO Expectations and Dr. Sleep will do the rest!!! ps. Watch The Shinning as a refresher or for the first time if you can before you watch Dr. Sleep.
Great seeing this tomorrow
It's not a magician's hat. It's a top hat. And she acquired it during the Great Depression.
Same here Cody I had zero expectations for this movie and I walked out of the theater with the biggest smile on my face, I loved it
Why does the sequel to The Shining even have to have the hotel? Danny Torrance survived so you could have a sequel of The Shining and Danny Torrance has that shine ability. There's no reason why the sequel needs to have the hotel. What would be missing from a sequel is his demented father.
Amazing movie and great review man!!
For me, 2019 has been such a dissapointment, especially for horror films I wanted to be great, but weren't, like "Midsommar," like "Us," like "The Lighthouse." I walked out of this movie, almost teary eyed, because all I wanted was for this to be good and it instantly became my favorite film of 2019. Fantastic review and I loved it!
Surprised you haven’t seen The Lighthouse. Been hearing nothing but positive feedback on that. My gf and I are seeing it tomorrow. Might try to see Dr Sleep next week
This movie doesn't seem like classic horror to me. It looks more like a supernatural Thriller.
It is
Excellent review! Fucking loved this film! There were a group of preteens in my screening and I could hear one of them whimpering during THAT brutal scene. It affected me too. One of the most memorable theater experiences I've had all year.
I loved the Pokémon reference. A psychic named Abra and the first thing we see her do is a trick with spoons.
first time visiting your channel and damn good reviews about movies excellent another youtuber i can watch who likes films
Finally caught this movie I friken loved it!! Awesome to hear you enjoyed it as well! I was dreading hearing your thoughts after I liked it so much!! Lol!!!
As a huge King fan and a fan of the Kubrick film - I loved this movie and agree with everything you said. So, so, so good.
Cody I think we are the only two people who see Blumhouse for what they are. As for Dr. Sleep, I made it about ten pages into the book and put it down. I'm sure it was a good read, I just could not reconcile the fact that I read the original Shining book one time years ago, but saw the drastically different movie probably fifty times. I'm glad Mike Flannigan is attempting to meld the Dr. Sleep book with the Shining movie. Catching it this weekend.
It would interesting to hear your opinion of the book. The first 2/3s are a meandering set of life stories for Rose , Dan and Abra that occasionally crossover with each other.
Awesome review
I was wanting on your review on this one. We pretty much have same taste it seems. I will go see it tomorrow. :p
Loved the original and I loved this one just as much!!! Well done awesome review cody!!
Fuuuuuuck yes! I'm glad you liked this! You, no offense are hard to please! And that makes me even more stoked to see this. I did read the book and I was surprised I liked it because I loved the Shining. I was waiting to see your review and two others because usually I feel an in between of your guys' reviews. Fuck ya, I wanted it done right and from my favorite reviewers I should freaking love it. Awesome review Cody!
This movie did something I felt would have been impossible - it somehow married the book version and original Kubrick film in such a way that only the pickiest of horror fans (book & film) would not at least find entertaining. I’m sad it didn’t do better in theaters 😢
I loved the cat. So perfect to add that mythos that cats can travel across boundaries of life and death .like in Coraline or Egyptian lore. Also the quote from John Lennon from his Shine On song where King got his idea for the name of Danny's power.
SPOILERS, in case anyone hasn't seen it yet. The story line with the snake (the girl they recruit) was needed, but for a different reason than you might expect. It wasn't so much to set up this character who would play a major role later, but to use the 'new girl' to introduce certain facts to the audience in a way that doesn't feel forced and clunky. Through that story, we learn that the members of the True Knot were actually people who had the shining themselves. This is crucial to the climax of the story, because that's why the ghosts of the overlook 'eat' Rose the Hat. In a smaller way, it sets up Dan's final temptation, when she tries to recruit him. We also learn that they are seeking immortality, and why they 'eat' people with the shining. All these things are mentioned elsewhere in the movie, it's true. But this is the clearest statement of them. If you took it out, there's a chance that a good portion of the audience might misunderstand or even completely miss those other moments. They also happen later in the story, and those are the kinds of things that need to be established early in order to avoid the feeling of an ex machina at the end.
Excellent review! Made me wanna go see it.
I didn't like this movie on first viewing then I sat down and watched the directors cut and fell in love with it. Completely changed my opinion on the movie.
