Description
Still scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook Hotel, Dan Torrance faces the ghosts of the past when he meets Abra, a courageous teen who desperately needs his help -- and who possesses a powerful extrasensory ability called the "shine".
and for those who haven't read the book, the movie may even come in
The main characters, relatives. Abra is Danny's niece. Danny and her mother are brother and sister by father.That's why Danny and Abra are so connected.
At least there's a plot and there's no Shelly Duvall. And the actress who replaces her coped much better with this role.
Rebecca Ferguson did an amazing job with the role of the antagonist. Despite the fact that she is the purest manifestation of evil, she was still able to arouse some sympathy in me.
The director understood perfectly well what he was shooting and coped with the task perfectly.
If you watch the movie separately from the book, it's pretty good.
If we consider it within the framework of history, then quite a lot has been changed.
I didn't really like that the end of the Shining and what was supposed to happen to Jack Torrence was transferred to an adult Danny.
In the book, I was very touched by the moment that Jack ultimately did not give in to the hotel completely.
And he was touched by the scene at the end of the 2nd book, where he helped his son and granddaughter get rid of Rose, already being a ghost.
And here, not only does Jack just die in the Shining, but also in the second film he remembers nothing and becomes Lloyd..
Why would Danny sit and stare at the generator, waiting to die, when he could have tried to escape.
It is a pity that they did not show the cancer vapor with which Denis killed part of the true ones. Like Abra's grandmother.
Abra's father was killed for some reason, and her and Danny's trip to the west was shown almost as a kidnapping, not to mention dragging Abra there to this dangerous place at all.
In general, the alternative ending of the film, where Rose was not just killed, but eaten by hungry spirits, is pretty good.
There were conflicting impressions, as after almost any film adaptation of King..
Will we ever have a normal film adaptation 🫠
