Doctor Sleep 2020 - Watched it Last Night.

I don't know how any fan of the Kubrick film can. You know what that movie was missing? Bad guys who's eyes glow so you know how sp00ky they are. And little kids who treat the shining ability like a fun superpower robbing it of all mystery.

Then there's the cokey Stephen King ideas that Kubrick would have tossed in the garbage and replaced with something creepy. Psychic cats that know when someone is about to croak so Danny can reminisce with them about blueberries? Memories stored in filing cabinets - King ripping off himself is one thing (oh look, villains who feed on the fear of children!), but Dreamcatcher?

Fans of this act like comparing it to Kubrick is unfair, but the movie INSISTS upon those comparisons. I'm astonished no one else was as bothered as I was by Elliot Torrence.

And once compared, all I can see is the lack of subtlety and atmosphere and suspense Kubrick crafted 40 years ago.
