If you're a Stephen King fan or loved the original Shining, this is essential viewing—Mike Flanagan crafts a genuinely haunting sequel that respects the source material while standing on its own. Yes, it's long and contemplative rather than jump-scare heavy, but the supernatural mythology and strong performances make it a rewarding deep dive tonight.

Plot

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".

Director: Mike Flanagan

Cast: Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, Kyliegh Curran, Cliff Curtis, Zahn McClarnon
