Critics consensus

“Doctor Sleep forsakes the elemental terror of its predecessor for a more contemplative sequel that balances poignant themes against spine-tingling chills.”

Flanagan pulls it off, especially in the extended climactic sequence.

With Kubrick-like attention to detail, Flanagan plays with images and themes we remember, but always with different outcomes.

A body of work that benefits from hindsight and reflection - unexpected pleasures for a horror movie, which must be why they feel so welcome.

RTTech AdvisorJul 31, 2026

Doctor Sleep is a worthy descendant to The Shining, in that it stands alone as a psychological horror movie whilst including some solid nostalgic moments for fans of Kubrick’s iconic film.
