Doctor Sleep
Director Mike Flanagan ’s movie adaption ofDoctor Sleep , Stephen King ’s sequel toThe Shining , make it soon , but does it have a post - credits view ? Despite the fact thatStephen King himself hatesThe Shiningmovie , it ’s safe to say that most consider Stanley Kubrick ’s film to be one of the greatest in horror history . On the other paw , King ’s originalShiningnovel is also beloved . This put Flanagan in an awkward attitude withDoctor Sleep , that of having to adapt a book sequel to King ’s novel , while also respecting iconic elements only found in Kubrick’sShiningfilm .
astonishingly enough , King seems quite soft on with Flanagan ’s finished product , praisingDoctor Sleepheavily , and suggesting fans check it out in theaters . apparently his hatred of Kubrick ’s cinematic changes did n’t defy the rapidly rising Flanagan ’s skill as a horror filmmaker . With acclaimed fright flick likeAbsentia , Oculus , and fellow King adaptationGerald ’s Gameunder his belt already , Doctor Sleep ’s former congratulations signal that Flanagan is n’t about to step off track .
