            1. Watching DOCTOR SLEEP: THE SHINING II: SHINE HARDER. I can't decide if I'm appalled or impressed at the audacity of starting by recasting Shelly Duvall, Danny Lloyd, and Scatman Crothers.

            Hell, I chose to watch a sequel to THE SHINING. I have to expect it to be a sequel to THE SHINING.

          I would have loved this when I was younger and a big Stephen King fan. But for me now it feels a bit too mired in King's characteristic excesses to cut to the heart of its characters.

        The major issue with these blockbuster horror films like DOCTOR SLEEP and the IT films are that they're just not scary. They're too slick, too polished. Horror is in the cracks.

    DOCTOR SLEEP: fun enough but unnecessarily in thrall to Kubrick's masterpiece. It didn't need the distracting pound-shop Jack Nicholson impersonator either.
