From what my homegirl told me, they actually are related in the book and she really is his uncle. And her dying grandmother has more to do with their relationship as well. Didn’t play on much of his recovery since he was already damn near fully recovered by the time they met, much like in the movie.
think "Parasite" might be the one for me.
Nice, didn’t read this whole thing cause I don’t wanna spoil anything. Will report back when I eventually watch it.@cac poster its official, Dr. Sleep is in my number 1 spot!!! That movie was executed to perfection - consistent timeline, story line, plot, no overdone jump scares. That little girl hit the mark with her role. Wowwwww, she was really good. Perfect on screen chemistry and believable. Best movie I’ve seen all year, no debate.
Disliked that they did his friend like that though!!! For him to go out like he did after they located the Steamers. The child abduction scene was hard to watch. They could have scaled that back. I have a son maynnnneeee
I had to fast forward that scene, never seen a kid done so graphically , that will stay in my head. Sadistic . Other than that, excellent movie. I know I need to rewatch bc I’m sure that I missed a few subtle references.
Glad you love it. That shyt is excellent. And that child scene is the thing I talked about weeks ago when I said horror needs to remain subversive and that scene rubbed some people the wrong way. I know why it did and I get it, but the best horror is the shyt that sticks with us and I haven’t forgotten that scene at all@cac poster its official, Dr. Sleep is in my number 1 spot!!!

In the book jack torrance had an affair with abra’s grandma so Danny and abra’s mom are half siblings. There’s a lot in the book that just couldn’t first into the movie because of run time or the changes that were made from the shining movie from the shining book. I’d highly recommend everyone read the 2 books. I’ve said it a few times but knowing the original story gave me such a huge appreciation for this movie. It’s great without knowing anything about the books, but knowing the book story takes it to a whole other level
Slashers and zombies are my favorites.
That doesn't surprise me. QT has a definite affinity for that dirtbag rockabilly aesthetic that makes up Zombie's very essence as an artist.
Dirtbag rockabilly
Speaking of Lovecraft:
Ok. Let me read through, because I know Jello is going to read it with his negative glasses of Zombie bias.
