Doctor Sleep is the perfect The Shining 2

Doctor Sleep came out last year, and it was one of my most anticipated movies of 2019, but unfortunately, I was left a little bit deflated by the movie. I’m a huge fan of Stephen King’s book of the same name which is a follow-up to The Shining, but the film didn’t quite recapture the…

I’m going to make no bones about it, I’m a huge Stephen King fans and The Shining is one of…
Director: Ari Aster Starring: Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, Ann Dowd, Gabriel Byrne That a film deserves to be ‘treated with the same respect we have for The Exorcist, The Shining, and Psycho’ is a bold claim, but that is the quote (courtesy of Dazed and Confused) emblazoned across the poster for Ari Aster’s debut feature, Hereditary.
