which means the endings of the book and the movie are completely different. (But the conversation plays out a bit differently in the book, as Dick inhabits the body of a recently-deceased patient at Dan’s hospice, instead of appearing as a more run-of-the-mill spirit.) Grown-up Dan is visited by Dick’s ghost again later in the film, and that happens in the book as well, as Dick dies as an old man before the events in Doctor Sleep. The scene plays out pretty much the same way in the book, except Dick is fully corporeal-the chef is alive and well, and drives to Florida to see Danny. In the film’s opening, when Danny talks to Dick about how to manage the spirits from the Overlook, he’s speaking to his friend’s ghost.
This has both major and minor implications for the movie version of Doctor Sleep. So at the end of the book, the Overlook is dead and Dick’s alive, while at the end of the movie the Overlook is alive and poor Dick isn’t. Little Danny’s friend and fellow telepath Dick Hallorann, however, does not, as Jack stabs him to death, which didn’t happen in the book. In the movie, Jack instead freezes to death while the Overlook survives. At the end of King’s book, Jack Torrance, busily descending into madness and, while trying to murder his family, forgets to depressurize the Overlook Hotel’s boiler, causing the property to explode with Jack still inside. Many of the differences between the book and film versions of the story are rooted in the divergent endings in The Shining and its cinematic adaptation. The movie takes place in a world where the Overlook Hotel is still standing.

In a striking, terrifically creepy image, Rose astral-projects herself into a victim’s bedroom. Led by Rebecca Ferguson’s seductive, fearsome Rose the Hat, they eat screams and drink pain in exchange for a longer (if not necessarily eternal) life. A cult who call themselves the True Knot are hunting children with powers, keeping the ghosts of the little boys and girls they catch in silver canisters. The new material is fresher and considerably more fun. Flanagan hopes vainly that there is still magic and terror to be wrung from the memory of Kubrick’s film, and sends a grown-up Danny Torrance back to the Overlook hotel, which he escaped with his mother, to “wake it up”. Director Mike Flanagan takes on King’s 2013 follow-up novel to The Shining, but adjusts some details to ensure continuity with Kubrick’s cult 1980 adaptation of the original book. A dapting Stephen King is one thing, writing a spiritual sequel to a Stanley Kubrick movie quite another.
