The progression of where Danny Torrance's character goes to is a natural right step. Recently I've felt done with most of the modern day horror film tropes, so it's such a shock for me to say that I had a good time with "Doctor Sleep". I don't mind a chilling spookie once in a while. We delve into the supernatural aspects of what Stephen King was going after in his book, and that's completely fine.
Interestingly enough they kind of blend well together too eventually. Once you do get to the elements that carry over from Kubrick's film it felt well earned. This is a different type of film while still remembering to pay huge amounts of respect to the legacy of the original. But once I got what the story was and paid attention I realized I was getting invested.
The green tint stays throughout the film, much to my displeasure. Especially when it was clearly supposed to connect right to the iconic classic. Remember, I care too much about the visual aesthetics of these things sometimes. When I first saw the previews for this I felt disappointed by the visual look of the film, as it was all too green-tinted and lacked the Kubrick-esque framing I want from a film like this (it being a sequel to "The Shining" after all). That wasn't so bad actually! Now, hear me out.
