Doctor Sleep

This could have been a 7.5 or 8 but they had to go and change the ending from the book. Because it always works so well well shows think they can do better than Stephen King did. They just had to kill Dan. Why you assholes? Why?

The most interesting part, Danny becoming a violent addict gets essentially resolved ten minutes into the movie, with little payoff late in the movie. Even this being replaced by him getting his shit together and being the guy that comforts people before they die in hospice isn't really explored anywhere near enough. Far too much time wasted on these highly superpowered beings who can astral-project but still need to rely on Winnebagos to get from a to b in physical form. The Total Eclipse of the Heart eyes was certainly something. Didn't rate the bad guys otherwise. Felt like a rejected 80s Bond villain and the graphic child murders was unnecessary in the context of them hamming it up on screen. Rebecca Ferguson in particular was terrible. You're supposed to hate the character as shes a vicious child murderer. Instead she's an annoying campy hipster with a ridiculously awful accent. Credit for trying to bring a new mythology to The Shining. It just didn't make sense either in its execution, pacing or plot. [/SPOILER] 2/10
