The final trailer for Mike Flanagan’s upcoming, DOCTOR SLEEP, has been released. The new trailer shows how epic this sequel to THE SHINING will be and offers many more nods to the Kubrick original, including a return of the creepy Grady twins. I’m pretty stoked for DOCTOR SLEEP and Flanagan is amazing director who knows how to craft a horror film that explores various stages of family grief and trauma- something our protagonist, Dan Torrance knows all too well. The film’s official synopsis is below…

Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the ‘shine.’ Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality. Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra’s innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before—at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.

Written and directed by Mike Flanagan, DOCTOR SLEEP stars Ewan McGregor, Kyliegh Curran and Rebecca Ferguson. It’s scheduled for release on November 8th.
