Movie May 1980: The Shining & Doctor Sleep
from The Occasionalists Podcast · host The Occasionalists
Our next double feature for Movie May finds us tackling a horror movie that feels decades ahead of its time and its sequel that somehow manages to balance a whole bunch of stylistic spinning plates. First, we hammer down on The Shining. The movie that beat the "Trauma = Horror" trend by about 30 years and remains a polarizing film for fans and critics alike. Then we take on The Shining's lega-sequel, set nearly 40 years after the original, Doctor Sleep. A movie that tries to tie together three separate storytelling styles while honoring a modern classic.
