Two of my favorite things...Stephen King and Ewan McGregor.  So, when I heard about Doctor Sleep coming to Blu-ray and DVD from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, I knew just the movie to watch with my husband for an upcoming date night.  My husband has been choosing the movies lately, as there really haven't been any new releases that caught my eye...that was until I saw Doctor Sleep was releasing soon.  We missed this movie when it was in theaters, so it was top on my list to pick up when it arrived in stores. But, thanks to the kind folks at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, they didn't have me waiting until the Feb. 4th release date, as they sent me a screener a few days ago.  It was like Christmas morning, when I opened the mailer to find this movie.  Usually we wait until Friday nights, after the girls are in bed, to watch a date night movie, but I couldn't wait to watch this movie. And, after showing my husband the trailer to refresh his memory about this movie, he, too, didn't want to wait.

If you are not familiar with Doctor Sleep, here is a little about the movie, including the official trailer...


"Dare to go back when director Mike Flanagan continues the story of Danny Torrance, 40 years after his terrifying stay at the Overlook Hotel in “The Shining” with “Doctor Sleep,” a screenplay based on the novel by Stephen King.

The Director’s Cut features nearly 30 minutes of new, alternate and extended scenes, selected by director Mike Flanagan, not seen in theaters. The Director’s Cut will be available on the Blu-ray disc and Digital in the 4K UHD Blu-ray Combo Pack and the Blu-ray editions.  

The supernatural thriller “Doctor Sleep” stars Ewan McGregor (“Star Wars: Episodes I, II & III,” “Trainspotting”) as Dan Torrance, Rebecca Ferguson (the “Mission: Impossible” films, “The Greatest Showman”) as Rose the Hat and Kyliegh Curran (“I Can I Will I Did”), in her major feature film debut, as Abra. The main ensemble cast includes Carl Lumbly (TV’s “Alias,” “A Cure for Wellness”), Zahn McClarnon (“Strike One,” TV’s “Into the West”), Emily Alyn Lind (TV’s “Revenge,” “Enter the Void”), Bruce Greenwood (“Star Trek,” “I, Robot”), Jocelin Donahue (“The House of the Devil,” “Insidious: Chapter 2”), Alex Essoe (“Starry Eyes,” “House of Lies”) and Cliff Curtis (“Sunshine,” “The Dark Horse”).




Synopsis:


Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance (Ewan McGregor) has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra (Kyliegh Curran), a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the “shine.” Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat (Rebecca Ferguson) and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality.

Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra’s innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before—at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past."

If the trailer above doesn't get your excited about this thriller, I don't know what will.  :-)  Fans of Steven King will be in awe and at the edge of their seats as they watch Doctor Sleep.  And, once the movie is over, and you get your breath back, get ready for some amazing bonus content which includes the making of this movie, as well a special "From Shining to Sleep" feature, which was a favorite among my husband and I.


I could go on and about how great Doctor Sleep is, but once you see this movie, you will be raving about it, too!  With Valentine's Day fast approaching, Doctor Sleep would make for a great at home date night movie to cuddle up and watch with your sweetie.  If thrillers and Stephen King movies are your thing, then you will want to own and watch Doctor Sleep, time and time again.
