Not only does this movie do justice to Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining, but it so clearly pays homage to Kubrick’s big-screen version.
Even the performances of characters from Kubrick’s version are so great – not a parody, but a tribute.
It does what a good book-to-movie should do: tell the story in a succinct way. Doctor Sleep certainly does that.

Stephen King fans or, really, any horror fan.
