The new film manages to complement the different conclusions Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick drew from the tale of 'The Shining'.
. While each of these films feel distinct and colored by their own unique characters, they all serve as expressions of a larger consideration about how the things passed down to us — possessions, homes, sickness, disabilities, faith, and family — shape us and hurt us. Flanagan has explored the best and worst parts of each and how they ultimately affect these characters’ survival and their understanding of life and death in terms of their personal place within them.
When Dan seeks help and recovery, aided by his sponsor Billy , he finds new purpose for his life, utilizing his shine and own experiences with death to help hospice patients ease away from life. He also gains a new nickname, Doctor Sleep, an extension of his childhood one, “doc.” For Dan, death is a natural step on the way to something else. “Everyone’s dying. The whole Earth is just a hospice with fresh air,” he says.
Dan’s journey is mirrored by a thematic foil, Rose the Hat , a vampire who feeds off of the psychic energy those with the shining possess, alongside her tribe, The True Knot. She and her True Knot have lived for centuries on the steam of other psychics whom they torture and kill, gaining longevity through the fear and pain of others.
Dan and Rose find their illusions of life and death shattered by Abra Stone , a teenager with a powerful ability to shine who Rose sets her sights on. When Dan responds to Abra’s request for help once she becomes aware of the True Knot’s existence, he is forced to deal with ramifications of life and death outside of the confines of hospice care. He knows death is not the end, and yet the state of the living and the dead takes on new meaning when it involves those he cares about.
Abra experiences her own share of trauma before her final battle against Rose, notably the death of her father. Dan has indirectly and unintentionally passed down his own experiences to the next generation, and the result both haunts Abra and ensures her survival. During the climax in the boarded up Overlook, Dan frees the ghosts from his mind and sets them loose.
