If you go into this movie expecting a sequel to "The Shining" you will be very disappointed in this film.
If you go into this movie looking at it as a stand alone film with themes based from "The Shining", then you will enjoy it.
I found myself leaning towards the first expectation. Expecting a sequel to the shining after seeing the shining the night before. I didn't like it. Felt super corny and I kept asking myself why was this film made?
Then I found myself thinking about the movie a lot the next day and how I was entertained by the story.
One thing that stands out though is they recast actors to replay roles from "The Shining". They get 2/5 were I wasn't bothered. The other 3 were nothing like the original actors and it distracted me to the point where I wasn't sure if it was suppose to be the same character.
