There are many kinds of horror movies. Some movies are in a cold sweat while watching, and some are terrifying after watching them.
Although A Piao Piao has read countless horror films, there are still a few that dare not look back. It is not because the scenes are too scary, nor because the blood smears his eyes, but he feels uncomfortable after watching it. The discomfort increased, so the film was sealed.
Thinking about it, there are very few movies that can be shortlisted for A Piao Piao's Dust List, and "The Shining" is one of them.
When I watched "The Shining", I didn't think it was very special. Isn't it about the story of survival in the secret room. However, as the age increases, recalling the details of the movie makes people feel more and more creepy.
I never thought that "The Shining" would have a continuation. After all, it is still outstanding after 39 years, but just this year, "The Shining" sequel "Doctor Sleeping" will meet you.
Today, A Piao Piao is going to show you this "Doctor Sleep" , which does not engage in gimmicks, does not destroy IP, tells stories in a down-to-earth manner, and inherits the cold and terrifying "Dr. Sleep" of "The Shining" .
Before talking about the movie, we still have to review the important elements of "The Shining". What is "The Shining"? It can be simply understood as: supernatural ability - teleportation, reading minds, manipulating people, seeing ghosts, foreseeing the future, etc. The more you talk about it, the more you look like the X-Men. You can rest assured that people with Shining abilities will not have genetic mutations, nor will their appearance change. They are very normal people.
Many people do not know that they have this ability and use it in their life unconsciously. For example, they have never done their homework, but they can accurately get what kind of gifts the other half wants. For example, they can always meet the needs of Party A and let Party A choose. Don't get thorns and pay; for example, you can always get along well with colleagues and friends, and effortlessly flirt with girls and men.
In "The Shining", Tony, the imaginary object of the little boy Danny, is Shining, but he does not know it; the chef is also a person who has Shining. The car went to Yuanwang Hotel to rescue, and finally sacrificed himself to save Danny and his mother.
Since 1980, fear has always accompanied Danny. Every night, as long as he closes his eyes, it is the hotel's yellowed walls and stained graphic carpets, as well as the slowly opening door of room 237. Danny dare not sleep, and the whole Haven't spoken for two years.
When Danny saw the rotten body trembling and opened his shower curtain, Danny knew that he would never be able to get rid of the shadow of Yuanwang Hotel in his life. Every ghost in Yuanwang Hotel was hungry. Evil, trying to suck Danny's soul to live.
Danny, who was overwhelmed, met the benefactor, the chef, to be precise, the chef's ghost. He told Danny that as long as he faced it bravely, the ghost would also be afraid of others. After all, he gave him an ancestral classical box with This box can seal the ghost.
It's hard to say whether Piao Piao can really seal the evil spirits, but Danny, who has the box, is like a divine help. He seals the evil spirits around him and tries his best to make life peaceful. But the greater the spiritual power, the more evil the things that he provokes. Danny learned to keep a low profile and not let anyone find his abnormality.
When he was 20 years old, his mother passed away unfortunately. From then on, Danny lived with alcohol and wasted time every day. Finally, one day, he met Billy, a kind man. Billy took him to the mutual aid club and helped him rent a house. Danny used flash. Psychic ability, and also found a job in a nursing home.
In addition to the old man in the nursing home, there is a cat named Aziz who doesn't know his age. Aziz is sensitive. It always wanders around the dying old man. Aziz can't speak. Danny will. He will walk with the old man with Aziz. After the last journey, comfort them and let them die in their sleep, so Danny is also affectionately called Doctor Sleep.
Danny's life was back on track. He quit drinking, worked hard, and had a new look. One day, when Danny returned home, he found a childlike HELLO written on the wall. Danny curiously left a HI on the wall. , I didn't expect the content to change the next day. It seemed that someone had a conversation over the air, but it took a little longer to reply.
There is another expectation in Danny's life. This expectation is not a prank, but a message left by a girl named Abel. Abel has a very strong Shining ability. When she was four years old, she She can hover over all the knives and forks in the kitchen, and as she grows older, Abel's ability is getting stronger and stronger, she can read minds, teleport, and look into the distance.
In order not to worry her parents, Abel always used her powers quietly. It was her clock-in project to chat with Danny every night before going to bed. But on this day, Abel had a bloody and cruel dream. She saw A dozen people stabbed the boy with knives and sucked his soul until the boy was tortured to death.
When I woke up, the smell of blood was still in the air, and the boy's hiss was still echoing in my ears. The faces of those few people were vivid in my eyes. They exuded cold and strange pupils, and the greedy sucker boy floated from his mouth. The soul that came out, after sharing the food, buried the boy hastily, and Abel even saw the burial site of the boy.
Abel told her parents, but she was questioned by her parents. It was just a dream. She was angry and left the word "murder" on Danny's wall. Abel was right, she did see a brutal and inhumane scene murder.
There's a group of people, it's no longer appropriate to call them human, some of them have been through the centuries, and in order to keep themselves young and immortal, they suck the steam spirit, and those with the power of the Shining will emit it when they are close to death. The steam soul, the more painful it is, the purer the steam soul, and this is the reason why this group of demons abused the boy by any means.
This group of demons has a clear division of labor. The boss, Rose, is in charge of collecting steam spirits, and Roger the crow is in charge of finding prey. Charlie, the manipulator who has just joined the group, can make the other party obedient as long as he speaks. Everyone feels connected. When Abel discovered their evil deeds , Rose also felt Abel's prying eyes, in her eyes, Abel was a piece of tender food.
In order to prove that what he saw was true, Abel actually tracked it alone and found Rose across thousands of miles. As expected of an old fox who walked the rivers and lakes, Rose silently invaded Abel's brain, and finally broke free of Rose, but When she saw her appearance, she left her mark, and the war between good and evil was about to break out!
Believe me, this is only the first time we have fought each other. Abel, a budding powerful psychic, and Rose, a cunning and cunning veteran of the rivers and lakes, every time the confrontation between good and evil, it is like a fight between gods, each showing his own abilities, let me see The eyes are dizzying, is it evil or the devil is one foot taller? I really recommend that you check it out for yourself.
It is said that the sequel destroys the IP. In fact, it depends on how the story is told. This "Doctor Sleep", as a sequel to "The Shining", did not disappoint me. The plot is compact and not vulgar, and there is no sudden shock effect. Only a vague fear oozes out, just like room 237, quiet and deep, you know what's inside, you're afraid of what's inside, but the door happens to open slowly when you stop.
The sequel always has to be compared with the previous one. In fact, there is no comparison. After all, "The Shining" has left a lot of shadows in my heart. "Doctor Sleep" can be completely regarded as an independent story. There are actually a lot of shortcomings, especially in the characterization of the characters. The villain Rose is very powerful, but her background is not explained. The demon group has a large team, but there are only a few people who can use it. It feels a bit baffling. However, I still recommend everyone to take a look at "Doctor Sleep". Alright, I'm A Piao Piao, I take a deep breath and brush again!
