Doctor Sleep
Return to the Overlook.
Directed by Mike Flanagan
Produced by Vertigo Entertainment, Intrepid Pictures
A haunting, introspective sequel that balances trauma recovery with mentorship, grounded in supernatural horror but driven by emotional connection and the weight of past wounds.
Still scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook Hotel, Dan Torrance faces the ghosts of the past when he meets Abra, a courageous teen who desperately needs his help -- and who possesses a powerful extrasensory ability called the "shine".
