Is doctor sleep good?

Thinking of watching 'Doctor Sleep' this weekend. I generally like psychological thrillers. Is 'Doctor Sleep' a good movie, like worth spending my time on, or just average?

I'm thinking of watching it, but I get scared easily! Is it a good watch or too intense? Has anyone else found it a good follow-up to The Shining, or does it disappoint?

I found it quite good, actually! It's a different kind of horror than The Shining, more psychological and less jump-scary. It expands on the 'shining' concept well. After a busy day of trying to balance everything at home, it was a good escape, very engaging.

I enjoyed Doctor Sleep. It carries forward the story of Danny in a very thoughtful way. While The Shining was terrifying, this one has more emotional depth. After a calm pranayama session, a good story like this, even with its dark themes, can be quite engaging.

My husband and I watched it after our kids were asleep. We both thought it was a pretty solid sequel. It respects the original but also does its own thing. If you liked The Shining, you'll probably appreciate this one too for how it continues Danny's story.

For a movie, yes, Doctor Sleep is considered good. It's well-made and continues the story effectively. I like watching movies in the evenings, but always make sure to have my evening snacks carefully planned so no sugar spikes. A good movie helps me relax.

Good? Yeah, it's pretty decent! Not gonna lie, I jumped a few times, but not like 'never sleeping again' scary. It wraps up the story nicely. So, if you're not planning to sleep for a week after, go for it! 😉

Yaar, actually it's quite good! I watched it a while back. It's not just a rehash of The Shining, it has its own vibe and takes the story forward for Danny. So yeah, definitely a recommended watch if you're into that genre. Worth your time!
