The reaction to ‘Doctor Sleep’ from viewers of ‘The Shining’ is likely to be divided; some may consider it a fitting continuation, while others might find it diverges too much—a characteristic I believe is positive. The film functions effectively as both a sequel and an independent story; someone unfamiliar with the prior work could readily grasp the essential elements. It's an enjoyable supernatural horror movie elevated by excellent acting from Ferguson and Curran.
