I felt the complete opposite. Read the novel years ago (need to revisit it) and have found a new love for the film the past couple of years. As of now, I feel the movie is much better, but again, I need to revisit the novel. Going to see DOCTOR SLEEP (the sequel to THE SHINING) when it opens in a few weeks. Haven't read the book yet but so far the reviews have praised it as a worthy sequel.



I see Dr. Sleep on my cable lineup and skip it, I did not know it was a prequel to The Shining, now I have to see it.
