I love that FoundFlix did The Shining first, then 5 days later did Doctor Sleep. Very considerate of him.
Damn I see you always commenting them positive comments. Keep commenting eeeee dem positive comments!!!

Dan sees a spooky ghosty:
Dan: "Hello there"
"I still see your shadows in my room"

It’s over ghost... I have the high ground!
That's what Rose The Hat would say
The murder of the little boy was truly horrific
Yes truly truly and the boy was. Great actor I was soo scared.... Things like that happened irl
Baby dying in this movie??
Ok, off my list!
@@koppsr its a reference not on screen
It was awful. I have a little brother the boys age and his voice reminded me of him. Never has a movie made me as horrified/sad/ready to commit *insert bad thing*
I just watched this last night and it seriously made me tear up as a mom! Too realistic!!
"They're not 'special'. They're STARVING!" One of the best scenes.
I don't get it
“I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND ROSE!”
@@kyleB061 The ghosts of the Overlook Hotel that Danny kept locked in those chests for all these years hadn't eaten any souls in a long time. So when Rose finds out that Dan is hiding something in those chests and asks him what special things are hidden in those, Dan says the aforementioned quote
Yeah it was freaking amazing
@@kiraaisling9603 hahah
They actually got Danny Lloyd, the OG Danny Torrance, to do a cameo at the baseball game. Sorry if he already mentions this!
I missed that. I'm sure his students are quite impressed.
Ikr? I'd constantly be playing the original on movie days and be like "What did YOU kids ever do?" 😂
Yeah, I read that in an article. Apparently, after the Shining, he retired from acting. The article states, Danny Lloyd, who was 8yrs old at the time, didn't know he was doing an horror film, until after the movie was over.
@@donnab.333 Oh yea. I might've even read the article you're mentioning! 👍
@@donnab.333 No wonder the kid looks happy biking around the house
That “medicine” thing was a reference to the book when jack would ask the same question when he was going to beat danny
IIRC, Jack's father (who was also an alcoholic) used to say the same thing to him.
I got that take your medicine reference because I read the book
RandomGuy I thought that was Jack’s highly abusive father.
@@KellieDoll28 He did. But when Jack was being possessed by the hotel, he said it too.
KellieSand04 the take your Medicine was used by jacks dad and used by jack when he was trying to kill Danny at the of the shining novel.
Dan: I hate snow, its cold, moist , and it gets everywhere
I feel that way about sand. In my point of view the sands are evil. If sands were younglings, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Be real shame if he got the high ground now
And he somehow loses with the high ground. Rose must’ve learned how to defeat it.
"I used to believe in 'the high ground'...then I took an axe to the knee"
I get that Billy needed to die, but then again, did he really need to die?
Awesome Donut he doesnt in the book. He ends up going with Dan and Abra to face Rose the Hat and the Knot.
I feel like they felt like they needed to balance out the death of Abra's dad. they really didn't but they probably wanted the drive to the hotel to feel more... idk, put together I guess.
I liked that everybody died. One of the things that made the True Knot so underwhelming in the book was that they had very little impact and were basically jokes. By basically having everyone but Abra die in the resulting conflict, it makes the end feel more like a long battle is over and the end being bittersweet, with a more satisfying conclusion for Danny to be there for Abra in her life the same way Dick was there for him.
In the book, it was just like a weird happily ever after ending that didn't feel genuine.
Although I was quite shocked with the deaths of Billy and David (Abra's dad), I agree that it was a necessary change for the movie. In the novel, none of the protagonists die to the True Knot. The suspense relied solely on Crow Daddy's kidnapping of Abra (and Billy), which was a much longer sequence than it was in the film. Crow Daddy had gotten them several states away before they were eventually able to escape. The fact that Crow Daddy had both of them in his custody and for so long was what elevated the danger. This nearly successful kidnapping raised the stakes and pushed the protagonists into action with the realization that Rose (the most powerful of the True Knot) would never give up.
The film decided to make a trade off; less emphasis on the kidnapping and it's importance to character motivation and instead replaced it with the deaths of two of the protagonists. This raised the stakes in a different manner, making the motivations more personal for Dan and Abra, rather than making it solely about stopping Rose and protecting Abra. However, the end result was the same; pushing the protagonists to confront Rose. This alteration of motivation is much easier to convey and simpler to understand on film rather than the original motivations in the novel. Had Flanagan gone with the original, the motivations would have had to have been explained through dialogue (as it had been in the book) rather than shown through action and could very well have bogged down the pacing of the film. And from an editing/screenplay perspective, I can understand why David and Billy were killed off; to simplify the climax of the film to involving just the three main characters (unlike the book which involved several more characters) and also to adapt to Flanagan's alternate ending.
Speaking of alternate ending... The death I found hardest to agree with was that of Dan. I can appreciate what Flanagan did with the final piece of the film in delivering the novel's ending of The Shining (but with different characters). As soon as I saw Dan fire up the boiler, I knew exactly how the movie was going to end, and was not surprised at all when the hotel burned down and Dan died. Instead, I felt a bit disappointed because by killing Dan, the closure and peace that he receives at the end of the film was cut incredibly short compared to the novel. Instead of Dan getting closure after decades of trauma and PTSD, the film panders to the audience by delivering to them another level of closure on the events of the Overlook Hotel and The Shining several decades later.
@@denineeast8858 very well said
I thought him going to the overlook in the ending was perfect. It shows him facing his past traumas head on and he uses them to his advantage, taking control of his life again.
Yeah! I love Found Flix but I disagree completely with the dislike to the ending. I feel like Dan's journey went full circle by going back to the hotel. It also makes me sad to see many people watching this video instead of going to the movies to support the product, Flanagan did a wonderful job and his work deserves more recognition :(
@@MsKawaiiOtaku the ending of the book was so much better
@@mcskittlez8499 Look. I'm not saying the book's was bad, or that the movie's ending is better. I'm just saying that the ending Flanagan gave us fit the movie as the amalgamation between King's and Kubrick's visions that it was. I also like to interpret it as Flanagan leaving his own mark between those two legendary creative minds, which, in my opinion, the man deserves after achieving such balance and respect for both the Doctor Sleep book and Shining movie. (I also like that he didn't chicken out like in Haunting of Hill House and went for a bitter sweet ending but that's a whole 'nother topic hah).
Daniel Rodriguez yes and that’s a very common theme in Flanagan’s work; processing our trauma by facing our past. I think it also can be seen as reconciling Kubrick’s cinematic ending with King’s original novel ending to The Shining. It may not be the perfect conclusion, but I really enjoyed what it represents!
I would have been fine if he didnt die and if he and his dad got the closure from the book.
one of my fav scenes was when Abra got into Rose mind. i liked the movie, definitely lived to expectations in my opinion.
She FUCKED HER UP lol
Dan has to mirror his dad in the final act because the movie pushes the idea that the abusers and the abused are quite similar in some ways. Rose talks about how abra reminds her of herself, suggesting that abusers come from those who were once abused. The similarity between the abuser and the abused is also apparent in how immortality is handled in this movie. Dan sacrifices himself but remains immortal via the collective unconscious shining. The true knot has to remain immortal by taking what's not theirs to take.
Feels bad for bathtub lady. She is just trying to find a bathing buddy.
A bubble buddy, if you will
Courtney Calp 😂😂
Or somebody to help her get out the damn tub loop. She’s getting a lil waterlogged😂
I wondered....how dumb are you thinking this is going to work...you know what happened last time a kid cane in there willingly lol
Barff
in the book, she's his niece and it's implied that Jack may have had the shine with was why he was so easily influenced by the Overlook
Jack clearly had the shine as well. Not only does he also sees the ghosts, he likes to hang with them
This is one aspect of the book that supercedes the movie. You can't ignore familial ties! Dan talking to Abra about alcohol seems scarier if he is a ghost, though!
Which might have been why he was drinking, if alcohol dulls ones shine
@@nevermore7285 That too..
It’s implied in the book Wendy had it a bit but really weak too Dick mentions it
6:50 "a child named Abra with telekinesis and silver spoon"
this cant be a coincidence right? will she evolves to a Alakazam?

@@notjerrybeans3536 Yes, but Alakazam is the ultimate goal: He becomes even faster & his S. Attacks hit even harder.

@@CPL.van7 unless it's in an Abra from gen1 kanto, johto, gen3 hoenn, sinnoh, unova, or galar.
It was actually the ghost possessed Dan that ran to the basement trying to stop the boiler from exploding. Dan stopped the Ghosts from inside of him and took back control enough to be comforted by the memory of his mother in his final living moments. This whole thing is evidenced by Abra telling the Ghost possesed ghost that they didn't count on Dan making the first stop to the boiler room when he got into the hotel. This to me was Dan's Plan C, if they couldn't defeat Rose and if something went wrong when he released and reawakened the spirits.
I agree on how it should’ve followed the books original ending, it feels more complete and adds up to the titular title of doctor sleep
BMTHanimesaint guess I’ll have to read the book now.
What id the book ending
It feels like the samuel jackson & mcavoy movie. It was kinda horror/thriller before and then the last sequel is superpower-ish
in the first movie, not one character is in control of the situations, not even the hotel itself as it needed to leech off the shinning of Danny nor the spirits trapped inside.
in this movie you see stupid shit happening all the time caused deliberately by everyone, projecting themselves and stuff and explaining everything, it does make you wonder why they didn't do X before or how if they did Y once they never did it again to their own good.
I like the movie's ending more, but I agree that the book end does justify the title better.
So, American Accented Obi Wan takes on a cult while suffering from PTSD and severe alcoholism.
Nah... It's an Irish accented American actress driving around until she meets Obi Wan and then tells him Hello there.
@@skaetur1 Meanwhile, Star Wars can't get it's shit together.
@@skaetur1 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA MYGASH
And he trained another Padawan. Except Abra didn't turn out to be an asshole lol
He even became a force ghost
When I saw Jacob Tremblay was playing the baseball boy, Bradley, and I realized they were going to kill him, I knew they were going to show a really gruesome kid death because I knew that boy could do it and would probably want to do it. He’s a really talented kid. That whole scene was heartbreaking and horrifying at the same time.
He does the best crying...lol especially in "good boys"
That scene told me, No more "Good Boys" sequals..
Very real looking murder scene 😫
yeah when i watch the fulm again i will be skipping that scene.really disturbing.
@@m33ddyhv I agree. It was disturbing. Did not really expect that in the movie. But then again most stephen king adaptations don't really stray from child violence
I knew he was going to do amazing.. the way he made my heart skip in Room, nothing will compare
Also, I think the Jack character cameo was good because it highlighted Jack's evil which was he was just tired of all the responsibility and dependence. Looking at the hotel position as a retreat and an opportunity to write.
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine "... lol

Damn I was thinking Peter Griffin when he thought lois was gunna hit him
His entire personal journey was accepting his powers and finally saving the girl and destroying the hotel and dying being reunited with his mom and watching over the girl and helping her with her powers
I didn’t really mind the changed ending. It gave Danny a unique closure & let Abra become a protege of sorts. And it was a big “fuck you!” to Kubrick’s ending which gave me a snicker 😆
One of the best yet underrated movie ever. This was unsettling, entertaining with a good storyline. The actors played it so well especially Rose the Hat.
I actually really loved the 3rd Act. There’s a good type of fan service where it fits in the plot and adds to the story instead of just being relied on with little or no plot. It literally gave me chills. Just my opinion though.
14:58 Forgot to mention he warns Abra of that because alcoholism runs in his family, since Abra is actually his long lost niece via her mother
Heracles96 That sounds so dumb.
@@HurricaneDDragon ???
Did they mention that in the movie? Cuz i know thats in the book but didnt know if its the same in the movie.
I WAS SO ANGRY THEY DIDN’T INCLUDE THAT IN THE MOVIE! It was such a great part of the book and i’m sad they didnt bring it into the movie
Wait so there’s a sister in the Shining? I’m so lost
3:30 I will tell you one thing, seeing danny close the door behind him and then hearing her scream as she gets forced into the box was bad ass....
you would think she would learn not to mess with the shiners or at least ones that know danny after danny did it to her and she miraculously got free,
Was waiting for him to say “ Here is Danny”
HERE'S JOHNNY!!!
Jack (passing the drink ) :Here son have your medicine
Dan : This won't work, I have the high ground now.
Like the father, so as the son. Dan very well may have inherited his Shining powers from his writer father who never understood them, only to fathom such abilities as being "insane". Helps explain why he was an alcoholic and why that particular trait is passed to Dan. It's also possible that the Overlook was feeding on Shiners the same way as True Knot as previous caretakers lost their sanity/lives; its destruction destroying a subconscious beacon of sorts.
No in the book Danny got his gift from his grandmother
great theory but in the movie at the bar, his dad explained to him why he was an alcoholic “he hated is life and kids/wife. Life was draining” stuff like that
Fun fact:: That cat may actually be based off of a real life cat known for the same ability. In over fifty cases, it's only been wrong twice.
what cat
Yup. True case. And the cat actually died but was revived and brought back to life. I wonder if he saw the light
Utrekz well yeah animals can tell when a potential prey animal is dying for “sustenance” purposes
You should read what Islam said about donkeys and roosters' eyes. Science is still looking into this kind of topic. However, what Islam said seems really sensible, which by science some details proven by it.
@@ZiYaD-Bin-Fahad they can see angels or something because of some kind of light cell they have in their retina. Something like that anyway.
When Rose asked how they had missed him I doubt she was referring to the times when he was an alcoholic. They feed on children, so the time when he was at the Overlook would have been when they would have been hunting him. Also I love how they tied in the books and the original movie by Kubrick. I wouldn't be mad about a trilogy. Would love to see more of Halloran.
Halloran is gone for good, but I’d love to see more adventures from Abra, possibly fighting more vampires and solving crimes.
I think it was awesome that they didn’t go overboard on CGI.
True, and the best cgi effect used was both subtle but very overt and unsettling: the Knot-ers eyeshine.
It's such a small thing but it made those scenes that much more creepy and unnerving, because it's very inhuman.
Totally!
i cant believe i had to watch danny torrence die with my own damn eyes
watching this because I’m putting off homework ... it’s ok
Kaylie Mancino same

Lil girl do your homework. Don't procrastinate like me
@@Shannonmm uhh Im all the way behind on my school work but I'm watching these videos instead
They couldn’t stick to the original ending because the overlook was never destroyed in the film. The climax in the novel takes place in the same place as the overlook.
“It’s over, Rose! I have the high ground!”
GG man good fight I ran outta mats
"You underestimate my power!"
F in the chat for your limbs
LMAOO
I would have loved for the ending to have followed the book more. Jack helping his son was beautiful and I loved the idea of the red cancer mist.
same :( i didnt want him to die :(
The *only* logical course of action was doing a sequel to the movie
Jack's arc was too changed in the film's for him to get a redemption. They instead set him up as more tragic and sympathetic as a man who wanted to become better, but failed. I liked the red mist too,but I'm okay with what they gave us.
Movie Jack would never help his son out. It was only appropriate that he showed up as a douchebag ghost in the movie adaption of Dr Sleep
@@Stigmatix666 danny should have locked him up to be a turd
I liked the ending, its dark and tragic. To see that the overlook hotel finally got danny after all these years. Im just like damn, wild.
I didn't see it as it getting him. It was more like he triumphed over it, not because he didn't die, but because he was at peace, while the Overlook burned screaming to the ground.
The way i look at it is he wasnt overcome by the hotel like his dad was. We see him talking to Abra in the end which means he was fine and died peacefully. And then the scene with him and his mother shows us that he dies as himself and not under the hotels control.
@@tylerwagner1978 I feel like the Overlook on fire symbolized Danny has officially overcome his trauma
Still makes no sense why they had to kill him. He could’ve walked out and continued to work as Doctor Sleep as he was before, while also guiding Abra same as before.
@@patience1926 yeah I totally agree , idk why his best friend , Abra's father , and and uncle Don ; the main character himself had to die .
i honestly loved this movie and it could’ve been a great movie without watching the shining. it told lots about danny’s childhood trauma etc. it was a very interested movie and definitely kept me hooked. i quite liked the ending since i’ve never read the novels
I loved the movie. Him looking through the overlook was one of my favorite parts.
There’s also another prequel to the shining in development called the overlook hotel
Yes like an origin story?
Oh, I bet they'll overlook it and go with something else, jk.
DillyDyson007 give it a fucking chance
unfortunately the movie as of now is not happening since Doctor Sleep did not do well in the box office. Which is a shame cause 1. I think the movie was great and 2. A Overlook prequal would have been badass
There was a prequel story written 40 years ago by King called "Before the Play". Track her down!
Well, this makes me want to go read the book, so there's that.
Oh yea, dan actually lives in the end
yup...spooling up the audiobook of Dr. Sleep as I type...
Read the book!
I actually thought the movie ending was very well done. A wonderful sight seeing that old hotel where it all started for Danny. I dislike overly harsh critics, I mean that ending was perfect. Super powered bad guy meets her end at the hands of an ever bigger bad. Perfect
The cat is named "Azeel" which is a play off "Azrael", or Angel of Death.
It was based on a real cat in a nursing home in Rhode Island. When someone was about to pass, the cat layer with them. The cat died a few years ago.
In my opinion, the Overlook Hotel scene was the best part.
It reminds me of haunting of hill house the way they shoot the scene
AvryonBoi The shoot out too
sandy river Agreed, very similar vibes to hohh ! Kept thinking the same thing myself
sandy river it’s the same director
Red or Blue Pill why not
Wow, I had good timing for checking FoundFlix for the first time in months.
I love Abra, she's such a good kid with a great child actor. And idk it's just refreshing to see a super powered good character being played by a person of color.
Fast Color
Captive State
Checkem out
I liked her also, they picked the perfect actress for her part.
I don't think she was a very good choice, honestly. Her acting just wasn't good. Especially when she was acting drugged out in the car, it just looked like she was pretending to be Asian. The movie overall just had meh acting, apart from a few characters.
Read the book, if you enjoyed the film. You’ll get a lot more of what you liked from the movie.
One small mistake. Danny didnt throw the glass. Jack/Loyd drank the drink then threw the glass himself. Which is actually kind of important because this is the one moment when he shows cracks of being Jack and not Loyd. Then Abra honks the horn and the lone glass reappears on the bar.
I was disappointed that Ewan McGregor didn’t say hello there in the movie 😔
Oh that's right I forgot that's all he's known for. Fucking nerd.
Such a friendly crowd
Well, Rose keeps saying hi there.
@@Tyway you sound like a nice person
Dont be mean to Pancak3s12. So uncivilized. Like using a blaster against clone droids.
Nothing to explain Danny dies and is a force ghost now
Phillip Mcelraft Lol
So he’s a Jedi :(
You are confused about it now? People were coming back before, danny isn't the only one in the movie but i agree with u whats up with that
his obiwan dummy
Phillip Mcelraft that's sad :(
I read on wikipedia that apparently Dan really is the girl's uncle in the book, which explains her power. It's a shame they left that detail out of the film.
So Danny has a sibling? That has a kid? I have so many questions now.
I keep seeing this. He wasn't actually her uncle, he said that so that if people saw them in public, they didn't freak out. You know, a full grown man talking to a 12yo girl and all that.
There was a very cute scene in the book where they were talking about it back and forth over the chalkboard (I think it was actually a dry erase board in the book) and he was trying to explain it and she wrote, "FREAK" Or something to that effect. To illustrate that she understood the implications of stranger danger.
So, they weren't actually related. But they weren't far away geographically, either.
@@diy_cat9817 No, the book literally explicitly states that Danny is her uncle and the mother of Abra's mother met Jack when he was still a teacher at the school that's mentioned in the first book.
I am not prying to be rude. But maybe read the book, the actual source instead of wikipedia.
@@alexkertamus1998 yep turned out dear ole dad had an affair which resulted in Abras mother. Was a great twist and sad that movie adaptations ruined yet another book.
Dan: This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine!
Ghost: yesss, YESSS!! 😈👻
Ghost: “yeah Dan, give me your shine, blow that pent up load”
Dan: “oka.... wait... you want what?!”
Ghost: “huh?”
@@yamahakid450f
Ghost: "....."
Ghost:"this has turned into a difficult situation."
This is probably the best synopsis/review of the film I've heard yet, and is exactly what i saw when watching the film, and considering it as a standalone film, as well as a sequel to the shining.
Is it only me who was pissed by the death of Danny in the end?
Youre not alone bro... Not alone
I loved it. Just like Dick said "Ka is a wheel" it all went full circle. He helped Danny as a little boy, and Danny helped Abra. He was there for Danny even after death, and he'll be there for Abra after death.
i was more pissed when they killed billy. he lived in the book :(
So Danny is a force ghost again?
I hate that both Billy and Danny died although I understand why billy died. But having Danny die, he didn’t get the closure he would have with his PTSD or continue to help geriatric patients with dying peacefully.
PLEASE review troll hunter next, I think you’d love how well they nailed the found footage aspect.
Twins in the Hallway: "Hello, Danny"

Best comment of 2021
I hate that they ignored the relation between Dan and Abra
Cameron Singletary well at least they paid homage to it, Abra saying to just call himself her uncle
@@nikkirennardo5100 no clear enough though
@@nikkirennardo5100 I mean that was in the book too, so it's more they just chopped off the fact he ended up being actually her uncle.

Honestly coming into the movie theater I thought the movie would not be that good but it actually turned out to be a great movie 4.8/5
Abra going through the Rose library was AWESOME!
red or blue pill take your pill first, then watch it again.
@red or blue pill So sad you we're sleeping while watching
In the beginning when Dan was throwing up in the toilet, I got some real TrainSpotting vibes. It was cool seeing him mirror his younger self in some ways of acting
1) The first time we see Dick Halloran, he's not a ghost...they're following the book version so Dick has survived. By the time Dan is an adult, he is a ghost.
2)I think Dan's line about going on is a kind of a response from SK to the early morning phone call from Kubrik to SK asking him if he thought there was an afterlife, to which SK said he thought there was but Kubrik flat out told him there wasnt...not disagreeing but telling SK he was just plain wrong.
3)The colors of Dan's clothes in the finale are a reversal of Jack's clothes from the Kubrik film.
Explain the Nightmare on Elm Street Series. (excluding the 2010 remake) (including Freddy vs Jason, as it's part of the series)
I feel like the 2010 NoES is one of the better Nightmare movies. Maybe that's just me but I really liked it. Reminded me of the Evil Dead remake.

It wasn't a huge part of the book, honestly
@@diy_cat9817 yeah but the scenes where he was were really nice and wholesome lol
My impression of all of the references and fan service was to imply that it was all coming around, a circle being completed and drawn again. A somewhat link to the first movie implying that all of its events had happened before.
I love it! I want to know more about the True Knot, even more than we get in the book.
I can already hear the Honest Trailer: Driving, Driving, more Driving and even more Driving.
The true knots seems like the group/people from Dark Towers (sucking/storing shine and walking around looking human when they not).
Considering that The Shinning (book) is a clear analogy to King´s own alcoholism and drug addiction, I see Doctor Sleep (again, book) and his new take on the same matter from a new, sober, perspective, in which the lead character actually conquers his on addiction, a reflection of the author´s own struggle and management of his sobriety. Makes perfect sense for me.

I just saw the film today and as soon as Dan went back into the boiler room at the end, I knew he would have the fate that his father had in the book version of The Shining. I was so annoyed and disappointed. I am right there with you about the ending. You took the words out of my mouth.
I really enjoyed Doctor Sleep. I thought it was a great way to provide the viewers with closure. It was nice to see Dan overcome his past and move forward.

and they casted a bunch of women cos muh feminism. the original was great cos it was simple and devoid of dumb sjw politics.
Royal Zak Huh? You mean the damn extras that getting their fucking asses kicked ? Yeah definitely feminist pal lmao
Royal Zak I mean how dare they?? It’s almost as if women exist and shit...and STRONG women?? Da fuk is wrong with them, everybody knows women should be invisible and weak
It's like The Shining and Push had a baby.
This channel is a bright light in the void that is my life

Tell me about it
THE EDGE
*hElLo dARkNeSS MY 0ld frIend*
I absolutely adore this movie. I was sad to see Dan die, since he didn't in the book, but I think Mike Flanagan did an amazing job of combining both the book and movie version of the Shining with Doctor Sleep. I kind of appreciated that they did Jack's death since it was replaced in the movie with the stupid (IMO) shot of him frozen to death. I think he had to include the Overlook or fans of only the Shining movie would have been up in arms
I didnt want a sequel. But after watching it was blown away. Absolutely fantastic film...
I really liked that scene were abbra was in thehats mind and reading her memories
It reminded me of another Stephen king movie dreamcatcher
I thought about dreamcatcher when Dick started teaching Danny how to lock away memories and things to preserve and protect them or to keep them excommunicated from himself, like the guy that had the giant library in his head that he used to hide from the alien. Duddits had the shine and he gave it to the others.
Thanks. Thats where i remembered that from.
This movie made me feel all the feelings that I had when I first read one of Stephen's book which was Dreamcatcher. I swear I had all the feelings come back from Dreamcatcher and Firestarter when I saw this movie. The telepathy, telekinesis, someone suppressing their shine, someone protecting a young one. Like this is what I grew up with and it made me feel so happy.
Finally a movie I’ve watched before a found flix video
Abra Stone was a beast! She had all the glow.
I usually do not like child protagonist in movies (not in general just in movies like these) but the young actress totally killed it in the role. I hope to see what she can do later on in the future
She's an amazing protagonist. Loved her.
She was really good
But it was obvious that woke hollywood had to force black people in there
In the book she was his niece
@@T-800skynett even if she was his niece it still would’ve worked?? interracial couples exist tf😭
i saw this in my recommended the day it came out and you have no idea how much i had to resist not clicking it because i just hadnt seen the movie yet. (i saw it friday though so now we gucci)
I feel like the film greatly improved on the book's finale. I know SK book fans generally prefer the events of the novels, but most people's visual and story references for the shining are pure Kubrick. To me, that "walk down memory lane" in the finale was the most powerful part of the entire film. The hotel is a character, and it's impossible to imagine a sequel to The Shining without it.
I been saying this for years they're making a Stephen King universe lmao
But there is one because in all his books they connect pennywise talks about how everything is connected
@@magiccarp92 I know that the dark tower book explains it I'm just talking about the movies regardless of the books
Nova X avoN multiple books actually. There are references in more than just TDT series. SK made his own universe, this isn’t something new
@@sempronia6 I'm not saying it isn't any evidence in the other books, I used it as a reference or example, I know its nothing new but for movie-wise it's new since we are just getting into studios doing universes. I was just expressing the possibility of them doing it on the big screen
Have you seen Castle Rock?
I kind of like this version.
The true knot family was about living forever, fearing and fleeing death, feasting on young children to survive, beeing addicted by it to the point of not beeing able to live without it.
Thus making them coldblooded monster who do whatever is necessary to get that HIGH OF MORE LIFE.
Dan overcame his fear of his ability, his addiction and what they bring with it through true friends and support.
He uses that to help others to overcome the fear of death and seeing there is something after death.
All the while he becomes friends with Abra and they bond over their shine.
When they start to hunt her Dan first try to hide fearing pain and death but then overcomes it again as abra is kind of family to him.
There is a contrast between those two "families".
One feast on each other after they are dead(they also feast on pain and fear too).
Dan and Abra really care about each other and others(kid who wos tortured).
The true knot family is dying with such intense pain and fear of death. Dan dies at peace while Abra accepts his death.
The end scene is Dan passing the torch to her and shows her like he did with those patients that there is something after death, bringing her peace of his, and her dads passing to her.
Which she then does so to her mom comforting her. And then going in to the room with the bathtublady, closing the door as danny did as doctor sleep probably to comforting her, sending her to the afterlife, whatever that may be.
I also loved the golden room scene: Shows you the 2 sides of people who face adiction. His father gave in to it and saw it as the only way to endure his pain, fears and sorrows to drown it.
While Dan (after a lot of struggle) overcame his pain,fears and sorrows, moving on and become a better person and give back to those who helped him and many others.
I know billys death was kinda unnecessary and Dans death a bummer to but I like the approach that they were going for
Daring to kill of some caracters to add more loss and pain to make it more tragic. Its a kind of sad ending a horror movie would have.
And yes I like to overthink movies and make theories. =)
Great video! Just subscribed.
Thank God for Steven king. He's done more for the movie industry than anyone.
Good and bad! Crazy how extreme it can go either way.
@callmecatalyst the first IT movie was solid tbh
Me too, I was hurt to see Danny’s death :(
the part with the little boy from the baseball game literally disturbed me so much i almost had to leave the theatre
Having never read of the books I don’t have any of those attachments to the source materials as many do. I really enjoyed this film and found it a riveting sequel to The Shining. Loved how they touched on how trauma can be passed down through generations and ultimately someone has to break the cycle for it to truly end and heal.
I just wanted to add that the True Knot's abilties aren't shinning abilities per se. It's different.
marie-hélène martel
Thank you for writing ‘per se’ properly! I’d use my Shinnnning abilities to get in people’s minds and make them take spelling tests every day!
If Dick's prequel gets made we can see Derry, the fire at the Black Spot and Mike's dad.
His uncle.... scares me to pieces!
"Kubricks iconic film"...it's Stephen Kings damn story so he can do what the fuck he wants to it. I love kubricks version of the shining but it's kings work originally so he can do whatever he wants.
They could technically put the Novel Ending into the movie;
I can formulate a scene in my mind depicting just that
Im pissed to know that Obi Wan will always die when dealing with force sensitive kids;
Loved this movie!
Normally I come to foundflix first but I just had to see this in theatres.
