The original actor that played Danny in The Shining makes a cameo appearance as one of the dads in the kid's baseball game which I thought was pretty cool!
That’s awesome!
At 12:27 the guy on the right is Daniel Lloyd, the original Danny
Especially cool because he never really acted after The Shining.
@@CinemaRules So are you two lovers or something like that? I get that vibe.
Yeah I thought that was pretty cool.
The whole theatre was cheering and clapping when rose got what came to her by the overlook ghosts
The mark of a great villain when it's so satisfying every time she gets outsmarted.
This movie did a great job of combining the book and the movie.
It really did
Yeah, the Dr. Sleep book is a direct continuation of The Shining book, but when it came time to make the movie it was obvious they had two artistic mediums to blend, regardless of how Stephen King felt (feels) about Kubrick’s vision.
@Danyell Nachman And you think that's okay, do you?
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks It’s a bot
I just LOVE this movie! WAY more than the original Shining......
Mike Flanagan is a great director. He had the balls to do a sequel to a Stanley Kubrick movie. And he made it good. So that's already a great achievement in his career for him.
He never dissapointed me to this day. Love his work. Even Geralds game, a book i thought to be unfilmable, was great.
I'm sure you've seen The Haunting Of Hill House on Netflix if you're a fan of Flanagan. If not, check it out. I prefer the 1st season but both are really well done! 👌
@@AntonioGee One of my favorites is still Oculus. Hush is also great. Honestly, Flanagan never made a bad movie yet.
Honestly, I think, Gerald´s Game might even be my favorite of his work. SO rewatchable, because it´s so simple, yet in a way also transcending. But Doctor Sleep may come in as a definitely close second. Even Hush was good, although a bit formulaic, but I gotta admit, I even have a soft spot for his early work like Oculus. SUCH an underrated thriller. I became a massive fan, because it was Karen Gillan´s first role after leaving Doctor Who, I believe. And I´m a massive Whovian.........
The baseball boy scene in theaters was fucking INTENSE. I don't think anyone expected it. I was so utterly unnerved and shocked, and I'm someone who's normally desensitized to violence in horror. Jacob Tremblay (the kid actor) is beyond his years and Rebecca Ferguson is PHENOMENAL!
Agreed
Well the thing is people hate seeing children hurt or killed on screen and I think most of us have retained all those high-profile child abduction and murder cases on the news. It was huge back in 2002 and a very scary time.
I've watched hundreds and hundreds of horror movies without flinching and I can't watch that scene again. Child torture is unbearable.
I've only read the book and seen this reaction. The only other time I was that disturbed by a depiction of violence in a book was when I read American Psycho, and that freaked me out and disgusted me so much I threw it out the window.
Absolutely agree! At first, I didn´t even know, that the cute little boy, who I loved so much already in Room, was now the Baseball Boy. And I think, it´s literally the only criticism, I have for this film, that he repeated the lines from the pusher verbatim. I think, audiences would have been smart enough to understand, if he had just reacted with "Okay..." or so....
But yeah, that killing scene was intense, man. Would have loved to experience that in the theater...
Regarding the ending, the plot section on Wikipedia had this: "As her mother leaves the room, Abra notices the ghost of the rotting woman from the Overlook in the bathroom and prepares to imprison her just as Danny did."
16:39
“AH!” 😏
“I hate everything you stand for” 😑
YOU GUYS ARE SO FUNNY 😂🙌
The performance by Jacob Tremblay (the baseball boy) is so powerful it rocked me to the core. I've never seen a little kid give that kind of performance since The Exorcist. The behind the scenes interviews talked about how the first take was so good but the director couldn't use any of the shots of The Knot group because they were all too shaken and looked terrified and heartbroken rather than excited to be killing this boy.
This part is so horribly described in the book.
@@Pottawattamie omg yeah. Screaming until he ruptures his vocal cords
@@river_acheron I used to love everything Stephen King but find some of it too disturbing
the older I get like some parts of IT mainly the georgie parts and animal cruelty especially.
Pet semetary is a hard read it has so many horribly sad parts.
Not arguing, but check out 13 year old Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun...
Mara Wilson was a great young actress loved her in Matilda.
In defense of the flashbacks; I think if they'd combined original footage with the new stuff it would have been too jarring. They could have used CGI but that's often distracting and even unintentionally funny at times, so they went with actors who captured the tone, voices, and overall spirit of the original characters rather than dead ringers. Considering how limited their screen time is, I think it was the right choice for this movie.
I agree. The flashbacks are necessary to bridge the two films, and I actually think it would have been more disrespectful to try to recreate dead/retired actors with cgi, as opposed to simply giving the roles to new actors.
@@derekconnors4128 It also should be pointed out that Kubrick's family endorsed the production and praised the final film.
This. I came here to say basically this, glad I read the comments first.
I don't get why he didn't like it? I thought the actors did so fucking amazing with the mannerisms and tones of the original characters. I was in shock how well she did Shelley Duvall. The casting and acting is the best I've ever seen when trying to recreated a character from an older film. It was outstanding and one of the high points for me. I don't understand why he would be bitching about it.
100%
I know some didn't care for the recreated past scenes, but they were necessary to show Halloran explaining the boxes to Danny.
Oh yeah.
While Rose the Hat isn't the most powerful antagonist, that's kind of what makes her interesting. You get the impression that she's diminished over time; if we'd met her a couple of hundred years ago she'd have been an awesomely powerful being, but she hasn't "eaten well" in a long time and she's a shadow of her former self. That's part of the reason she's so drawn to Abra, who reminds her of the way she used to be (i.e. "the only difference between us is time"). It's not just about stealing Abra's power or using her for food, it's about Rose trying to reclaim her glory days.
How could she get so evil
@@TravellerTinkerliving for a long time would most likely depreciate life in your eyes.
Really liked this movie. I found the friendship between Dan and Billy really touching as well... Billy was such a good mate.
Underrated actor and a great character to remember
I looked at it is the parents are what they look like in Danny’s memory. He was so young he doesn’t exactly remember what they looked like.
Well you are wrong.
That's a great way to look at the recasting.
Its called homage and and the actors they used did a great job recreating those scenes and new material with the subtle nuances of Shelley Duvall and Jack Nicholson's performances in the original. I do like your idea as well. Very clever. (The negative nancys are wrong)
Good way to look at it honestly
@@brucef310 LOL actually it's a perfect eay to lol at things. I remember my parents different. They're still alive and I saw pictures of us when I was young and my dad looked slightly different. Freaked me out.
" Yeah. A magic FUCKING trick."
-my whole mood while watching Doctor Sleep lmfaooo
34:05 In the novel 'The Shining' the old lady in the bath was just someone who committed suicide in the bath. It was the hotel that distorted the picture so to speak. Abra at the end recognizes that she just wanted someone to talk to, so she isn't scared of her unlike Jack Nicholson, et al.
The scene when Abra trapped rose, it was so satisfying. Her death scene was a smile worthy moment.
Agreed, I love how they allowed the protagonists so many more empowering moments than the usual three seconds of "eat this, bitch" at the end of a horror movie, after two hours of nothing but fear and torment and hopelessness. It's so satisfying to watch our heroes hunt down a gang of smug child killers.
The ending was how The Shining was supposed to end. Blowing up the boiler and let the hotel burn.
The TV Mini Series in the 90s i think it was had that ending
@@Flip4910yes king now love's this world. It brought closure to his own demons.
I love that they swapped in the ending to the novel of The Shining as the ending to this film.
Yeah, I actually like the ending to the film better than the ending to the book. It's an excellent blending of the book, the book version of The Shining, and the film version of The Shining. Flanagan did a damn good job weaving it all together, to the point that even Stephen King said it made him feel better about Kubrick's film.
The Baseball Boy was so good at acting in pain, after several takes the other actors had to stop, to ensure he was OK, and because they were crying from his screams!
Jacob Tremblay is definitely something special when it comes to child actors. He was staggeringly good in 'Room' as well.
I love how he was giving his dad high fives while the adults are just bawling.
They didn't have the rights to use original footage from "The Shining". Jack Torrence is portrayed by Henry Thomas btw., the dad from "The Haunting Of Hill House", which makes it two actors from that show. But to me he'll always be Elliott from "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial". Saw that one at the cinema as a kid, that's probably why I just can't help it... 😂
Henry Thomas also played a young Norman Bates in one to the Psycho sequels. I'm really happy to see him working more again!
Robert Longstreet - Mr. Dudley - is one of the True Knot.
He did great as Jack here. Loved this movie and the book is phenomenal as well.
Big time kudos to him for taking on that role... talk about some big f'ing shoes to fill!
I mean it is WB so I don’t know why they wouldn’t have the rights for it. I think Flanagan just didn’t want to use any footage from another director.
The Dr. Sleep book is AMAZING
I’m ashamed I haven’t read it yet but I’ve been thinking of starting it 🥰🖤
A great literary sequel. I actually prefer it more than the book version of "The Shining".
Great book. I read it in 2 days during a power outage.
@@zombiTrout weird enough, I finished most of it during a power outage caused by a weaker hurricane haha
It doesn’t get enough praise. It’s one of my favorite King books.
I remember so well being in the cinema watching this with my now Ex Boyfriend, and when the scene came along with the baseball kid being stabbed over and over and over again there was like 5+ people who walked out...By the end there was maybe 20 people out of 50 left. Not even kidding
The scene with Jack/Lloyd and Danny at the bar was amazing. And even if he doesn't look 100% like Jack Nicholson I'm glad they got a good lookalike instead of cheap CGI.
Yeah, exactly. He didn't need to look like his Dad cos it wasn't him, it was the Overlook/Lloyd.
That was Henry Thomas who played Elliot in ET.
@@donna25871 I didn't recognise him in this at all here. Mind blown. 🤯
Remember that Rose said that when you get older things are different. The little girl was more powerful because she was younger.
Also because she’s Danny’s blood niece as well. The family must have powerful connections to the shining somewhere down the line
Why are you fantasizing about little girls?
@@brucef310 shut up you stupid chav.
@@brucef310 LOL where did this come from?
@@coreywallace2052 how is she his blood niece? They are not related.
The cat scene is possibly based on Oscar, the cat that senses hospice patients dying and stays with them until the person passed away.
Yes, Stephen King actually confirmed that this was his first inspiration for the book.
It's Mike Flanagan! I LOVE his horror point of view so much (Same director as Hill House.) He works with the same actors over and over again which is why you see familiar faces pop up.
Have you seen Gerald's Game? It's also based on King's book and it's a great faithful adaptation and imo one of the best horrors or the last decade. Carla Gugino in the main role was phenomenal. I love how Mike Flanagan tends to work with the same people. I can't really explain why, but it feels like he's creating his own cinematic universe because his movies always share at least some of the actors and it's great. :D
Danny used to be 'Abra-strong', but the True Knot didn't notice him. I always wondered if it was because Danny denied his powers or because he dissociated his powers from himself in his mind using Tony. Or, worst of all possibilities, the Overlook hid/shielded him because it wanted to eat him.
Halloran helped hide him as well.
Danny was very strong. But not as strong as Abra. Even when young. He was VERY strong. She is just stronger. Neither Danny nor Rose are strong enough to produce physical effects. Abra is.
So happy you guys reacted to this! Such a powerful and terrifying movie.
I saw this in the theater and was sitting next to an 8-year-old. My husband and I were gobsmacked during the murder scene and I almost had to sit on my own hands to keep myself from covering that child's eyes. We were traumatized and I can only imagine how that scene played to someone near the same age as that poor baby.
It was hard for Rose's actress Rebecca Ferguson to film as well.
@@Xehanort10 Yeah, apparently the kid laughed and high fived everyone and all the adult actors were just sitting there, frozen afterwards.
Idk I was always that kid in the theater in every horror movie. I was never traumatized by anything lol. The first horror movie I ever saw was The Last House on the Left (1972).
Who brought an 8 year old to this movie lol
My only concern is who would bring their kid to watch a horror movie. Ik some kids are fine with it but still
The overlook hotel is like it's own entity that the ghost are tied too, but the sports can exist on their own. I loved this movie so much and Rose The Hat, as much as she was evil was pretty human. And I thought that was a nice change from most movies and even the Shining, where the villain is this twisted inhuman force. She was scared of death and addicted.
I got to go to the advanced screening of this in Toronto and got to meet the main actress as well as the director Mike Flannagan (who I am a MASSIVE fan of - I mean, Haunting of Hill House alone is brilliant), AND his wife, Kate Siegel (who, again, I am also a massive fan of), and they were all SUPER NICE. I was also dressed up as Victor Pascow from Pet Semetary at the time, so that was fun.
I had no idea he was married to Katie Siegel. She's great. That's awesome.
I think Mike Flanagan is a great director. I look forward to whatever he does next.
Favorite film of 2019, hands down. Mike Flanagan did such a perfect job of both adapting the book and making a sequel to Kubricks’s version.
Agree 100% 🥰🖤
I'm gonna be one of the few and say that I LOVED the way they recreated the scenes from "The Shining" and I LOVED that they didn't use CGI and relied solely on make-up and actors. When I watched it I literally gasped because of how amazing these scenes looked and how well-acted they were, I would even say that they were one of my favourite parts of the film. Mike Flanagan and his crew did a tremendous job.
Doctor Sleep is to The Shining what Blade Runner 2049 is to Blade Runner '82, in that they both somehow managed to capture the tone and feel of the originals while still doing something completely different instead of just trying to rehash or imitate, which to me is the mark of a truly excellent sequel. The Shining and Blade Runner are two of my all-time favorite films, so I was so stoked that both sequels are so excellent. So glad you guys seem to agree.
unfortunately both tanked in the box office.
@@jagmaharesi2486 That's another thing BR, BR49, and Doctor Sleep have in common, yes. I think that's as much of a blessing as it is a curse though, in that had they been wildly successful right away we almost certainly would have been inundated with a parade of inferior sequels that would have eventually diminished the impact of the originals.
Well said.
both had very competent directors
fun fact rebecca ferguson said she was shocked and impressed by jacob tremblays acting on that death scene because he went in, got brutally murdered and then got up and high fived his dad like nothing happened
hes an amazing actor, I loved him in Wonder also
The fact he also plays Luca! Aaaahhhhhhhgg I love Jacob Tremblay!
“Is it weird that I’m weirdly attracted to this woman? “ lmao I had that exact same thought throughout this entire movie.
Yup yup. . Me too
same
Same
She’s gorgeous
@@JessLoveyy Well she isn't bad for her age. Obviously she was prettier in the original when she first emerged from the tub but for an older woman I can see the attraction.
I can't begin to explain how much I love this movie. They did such a fantastic job too. So many amazing actors, like Lurch from The Addams Family and Bully from Once Were Warriors to Mr Dudley and Little Nell. The murder scene of Bradley actually brought the cast to tears while they were trying to film it. Rose (Rebecca) was crying and they had to do a whole bunch of editing because they were all crying during his performance. They all said they felt traumatized afterwards and I don't blame them. Gut wrenching scene to watch. I was shocked by the brutality of it but I understand WHY they included it. So glad Dick Hallorann was in it. So pissed they killed him in the "original" movie. He wasn't suppose to die. And I'm so happy you caught the same shot they did in the first movie when they went back to the Overlook! I could go on and on about all the easter eggs but this is already a novel so I'll say one last thing, I fucking LOVE this film. xD
A neat fact is Henry Thomas playing Jack Torrence is little Elliot from E.T. and he was young Norman in Psycho 4:The Beginning
You need this to recover from The Elephant Man.
This movie is so Mike Flanagan. The moment I saw the hotel it instantly reminded me of Hill House. "I gotta wake it up". Just the whole tone and feel is incredibly recognizable
Lads not even lying got done watching my first viewing of Doctor Sleep only to hop on RUclips straight after to see you guys uploaded a movie reaction to DOCTOR SLEEP. Blew my mind and I swear to god the biggest coincidence ever.
I just love Mike Flanagan. He has such a unique directing style that is immediately recognizable.
the main reason they got a different cast is because it's 40 YEARS LATER, the real danny boy is in the film as one of the spectators at the baseball match, also Shelley Duvall & Jack Nicholson are 40 years older
Mike Flanagan basically got Stephen King on board by promising to meld King's version of The Shining with Kubrick's. In the novel Doctor Sleep, the Overlook isn't even standing anymore. So Flanagan got King to agree to featuring the Overlook as everyone knows it from the Kubrick movie, but then King finally got to see the original ending he had always wanted - Torrance blowing the boiler. A brilliant balancing act that worked so well, in my opinion.
STRONGLY recommend the director's cut of Doctor Sleep. I know, I know its so confusing which version of a movie to watch, but the extra 30 minutes makes an already exceptional movie even better.
Shawn: is it weird I find her attractive
Tom: it’s the hat
Why did I find that oddly hilarious 😂
Yall said it looked cartoonish the way the replicated the shining, but i think its the exact opposite. The love and attention to detail they put into the scenes in the overlook was actually breathtaking. They put a lot of work into it.
McGregor and friends have been doing a television series where they ride motorcycles around the world (long rides). They just did "Long Way Up". That's probably the reason you don't see him a lot. My husband loves that series.
He’s also been doing Fargo for the past few years as well..
In the book it was explained, the more those shine/steam eaters tortured the kids, the more the kids released their shine while they were dying.
Both The Shinning and Dr. Sleep draw heavy from King's journey through addiction. Jack's whiteknuckling sobriety and eventual relapse and Danny's work on himself in later life and the ability to resist temptation.
That and Misery - King has said that Misery is about his recovery from addiction.
You should've watched the director's cut 😭 but otherwise great reaction! The theatrical cut is still solid but the pacing of the other cut is much better imo.
I actually felt some scenes ran to long in the director's cut. I think it was smart to start with this version.
Clicked on this video so fast and bought a hoodie immediately. So happy to see this channel grow.
Also, happy you finally watched “Doctor Sleep”.
They used different actors for the flashbacks because they showed Danny and Wendy after the events of the Overlook.
I love the Hill House actors in this - the little girl Violet at the beginning, and the Dad from Hill House as Jack Torrance. The line "A man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes a man" is such a winner.
And Mr. Dudley!
Love you guys! Been here since day one! I’m a film major and love seeing new people find appreciation for film and cinema. Keep killing it and happy birthday Shaun!
The scene with them murdering the little boy was so distressing to me when I saw it in the cinema on opening night.. Id to close my eyes and block my ears to the crying and screaming, I had tears. Fucked up man...
The adult actors had to take a break from the scene as well because the young boy was such good actor
That scene at the bar in the overlook with danny and his dad was so well done!
This director also adapted Gerald's Game, Another King book and amazing movie. Hope you can watch it in a future video
So excited that you guys were going to watch this film. Been here since the beginning, and when I saw you watched The Shining I couldn’t wait til you watched this movie. I really think this movie is so underrated since it didn’t do too well at the box office (although to be fair it was a January movie)... Probably in part due to the title being completely different, but I’m glad the studio didn’t call it something like The Shining 2 lmao
I CLICKED THIS SO FAST
The overlook was burned down in the shining book, so it burning down here was meant to pay homage to that and/or bring it full circle while trying to simultaneously make it a faithful adaptation of the book and the movie, an impossible task handled beautifully. also fun fact, elliot from ET was the one who played fake jack torrence.
I’ve been dying for you guys to come with merch
Great review. Once you read the books, you will appreciate this adaptation even more. Mike Flanagan had a tough job marrying aspects from Kubrick’s film and the two novels and in the end he pulled it off damn near perfectly, honoring all of them.
I’ve been watching since the werewolf movie, but forgot how many that was. still, I consider myself pretty special being here since then. you two have grown so much. I’m actually really broke, so I won’t be able to get that hoodie, but I’ll always consider myself as one of the first.
The director of this did a fantastic job of mimicking kubrick when it was needed. I really didn't expect anything good when I heard about this and was pleasantly surprised
I saw this in the theatre and loved it, I was shocked that Danny died in The Overlook but it was a fitting ending.
Sean saying “let’s snort these up”
Everyone does
It made my day after my shift 😂
Dunno if you realized a few of the actors from The Haunting of Hill House were in this? You noticed the little girl in the beginning, she played young Nell. Then the chubby dude steam sucker in the van who speaks to the baseball boy, he was the caretaker husband in HH. The bartender is Henry Thomas, the young dad in HH and also the uncle in Bly Manor. All 3 of them are directed by Mike Flanagan. Mike Flanagan is married to the actress who played the sister Theo in Hill House (actress Kate Siegel) and she stars in a good horror movie called Hush... also directed by Flanagan lol ✌🏻
I don’t remember when I subscribed but I was here when you only had 5 videos when I did 😊 how far you have come!! 🥳
I’ve been subscribed since July 2020, don’t remember how far along you guys were then but I’ve enjoyed watching you guys since then.
just ordered a hoodie!!! I have no idea how the stars aligned that I found you guys at just a few hundred subs but I love your videos
That IS the same office, Shaun, good eye. Even the shit on the desk is the same.
The guy who was commenting on the baseball kid’s ability to always hit the ball was the original Danny from The Shining.
I've been with you guys from the very beginning and you never fail to deliver awesome reactions. Very entertaining and I've already bought some of your merch. 👍
Been here since the first reaction. You guys are the best!
I'm barely into this, but I have to make sure; You do know Mike Flanagan, the director behind Haunting of Hill House, made this? It's got all his hallmarks of extended discussions about the existential anguish of dying!
I was just about to comment about this!
We only realised after we filmed our reaction, love his work!
I really like that we get to see the monsters have to "work for it." These protagonists punch back.
My favourite movie of 2019. Mike Flanagan did an outstanding job with this. I was blown away with it. It would've been more jarring to use the footage from the original only to then cut to the new actors. I thought the woman playing Wendy was incredible, she really captured Shelly Duvall's performance perfectly. They actually rebuilt the Overlook Hotel set using the designs/blueprints from Kubricks film. It was such a hard line to tread and I think they handled it perfectly. Fantastic characters too.
Congrats on the merch guys. I NEED the mug!
The mind storage is also used in another movie based on a King story, "Dreamcatcher".
Love that movie. Never seen an 'alien' movie like that before (well, the closest to that vibe would be IT and Stranger Things)...I wondered if Cinema Rules had seen Dreamcatcher?
Mike Flanagan had the impossible task of paying homage to both the original Shining book and movie, which saw Kubrick change key pieces from the book to the movie.
Doctor Sleep (the book) was a sequel to The Shining (the book) and despite some major differences that Kubrick made to The Shining, Mike made it work. One of my friends actually designed the rework of The Overlook Hotel and thought it looked incredible.
Looking forward to drinking my coffee in my new Cinema Rules mug. Thanks for the new merchandise guys.
I still remember finding your channel when I saw you watched my favorite horror movie nightmare on elm street and thought to myself.....yup I have to stick around. Glad that I have!
I was so happy that this movie was great because I'm such a Shining fan. I didn't find it too scary, more creepy and emotional. I was crying in the theatre quite a few times. Loved that Danny became the magical shining mentor to Abra, the same way Dick was for him. And that signature Flanagan "look" really added to this movie's atmosphere, lots of blue and green cinematography.
Congrats on the cool merch and the ever-growing channel, boys. I hope to get the mug or a hoodie asap!
I can't wait for you guys to give your reviews. It's been awhile since I seen this movie. You were so close when watching The Elephant man the other day, being
You guys are so entertaining and relaxing to watch. I literally listen to your reactions as I’m doing my errands lol. And also inspired me to start my own reaction channel as well. Keep up the great vids guys! Much success to you guys
I feel sorry for the people (characters) who live in Stephen King's Derry, Maine because some freaky stuff goes on there. Sooooo...many...monsters and crazy humans.
Castle Rock's pretty bad too
So other actors who appear in this that were also in The Haunting of Hill house... Henry Thomas (played the young dad in Hill House and Jack Torrance/Bar Tender in Dr Sleep), Robert Longstreet (Mr Dudly/caretaker in Hill House and Barry the Chunk/van driver in Dr Sleep), and Katie Parker (Poppy Hill in Hill House and Silent Sarey/an other in Dr Sleep). There are other actors that that Mike Flanagan use in multiple films/shows as well.
Love this movie. Even better in the extended version. Flanagan managed to pull the Kubrick movie and King’s two novels together into something that honours all three.
As a fan of The Shining and a fan of the book Doctor Sleep I really enjoyed how it was loyal to King’s book but also huge nods to Kubrick’s The Shining, which King absolutely hated.
McGregor was fantastic, all the cast were great for that matter, the scene with the true knot killing the baseball kid was truly haunting. Terrifying without showing any gore. All implied. Very powerful. Great film
Speaking of the world building the light in the vampires eyes is often refered to in Kings books as "the dead lights"
Your reaction at 22:43 is hilarious! Like a kid on Christmas morning
Congratulations to you guys, really awesome channel.
I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out...I was gripping so hard onto my seat 😂
"I Hate Everything You Stand For"
Hilarious
I'm sure someone else mentioned this already, but you might remember the man portraying Jack from his iconic portrayal of Elliott in E.T.
Great to see you guys review this and love the merch, the fleece movie night blanket is tempting! But can I just ask, are you still going to review Omen 3? Me and hubby are really looking forward to that one in the future. We want to see what you think of Sam Neill as Damien. As a point of interest, originally there was going to be a fourth Omen film but plans got changed during the making of the 3rd. There are 5 books in the Omen series that were originally printed. 🤔
We do want to watch Omen 3 but it won’t be for another month or so 😊
@@CinemaRules awesome. Can't wait to see it!! We'll keep watching. 😎👍
BTW, the theme is "Dies Irae." It's used, inverted, etc. in Sweeney Todd. It's meant to depict coming death/doom.
I enjoy your guys reviews🙂loved the scream ones 👍recently subscribed 😋
The actor who plays Jack Torrence in this film is Elliott from ET.
