Here, again, is Johnny.
Our glimpses of Jack Torrance are fleeting in
Michael Flanagan’s “The Shining” sequel, “Doctor
Sleep,” but Stanley Kubrick’s colossal 1980 horror
film is seldom out of mind, or out of frame. Even
that axe is back. Adapted from Stephen King’s
2013 book, “Doctor Sleep” shifts the story to
the tricycle-riding tyke of “The Shining,” Danny
Torrance (Ewan McGregor), now grown and
dealing, understandably, with a few residual
psychological issues from his childhood stay at
the Overlook Hotel.
