I just rewatched The Shining and then the sequel Doctor Sleep.
Wow.
Danny grows up as a tortured alcoholic drifter hiding from the things from the Overlook Hotel. He finally deals with all the ghosts and goes sober.
One day he Shines contact with a little girl who is unbelievably powerful. They become "pen pals" and years pass.
Then, as a teenager she psychically witnesses a horrifying murder by a pack of vampires who torture children and feed off their pain and fear. But by seeing them, they see her Shine and come after her. The only thing is, this little girl is harder than a coffin nail, isn't running and enlists Danny's help in hunting down and killing the vampires.
The film is quite horrific, with multiple child murders and one particularly gruesome-unusually so for a Hollywood movie. The stakes keep getting raised as the hunt turns cat and mouse and innocents pay the price.
The main cast is excellent-especially the teenager-but the supporting cast gives real depth to the story. The vampires are truly vile, nightmarish and clever. Unlike many horror films this one builds to a satisfyingly thunderous climax that is brutal, tragic and satisfying.
Recommended.
