Customer Reviews

Run of the mill predictable sequence.

The basic story is the kid who grew up 40 years after "The Shining" has to help the new kid on the block protect herself from becoming Shining-Chow. Yep, we know why sequences are bad. The ones that are just bad are the ones that duplicate the formula and hope people just want more of the same. Then there are the real stinkers where they lose the formula of the original and just add car chases, guns, or ninjas, or in this case, cheap mind tricks. This is supposed to be the extended story of “The Shining”. You can see that they peppered elements of the original movie "The Shining" here and there throughout the movie. But it has been pared down to good guys vs. Bad guys and who has the best tricks. We are not too sure just who the bad guys are, as no one is out to “get your little dog, too”. The acting, props, and location are well done. It is just the story and its execution that is a waste of time. Looks like a setup for a sequel to the sequel - not again, please. Of course, you will have to see this as cultural information. However, save the viewing for a time when you have nothing better to do. Also, watch the Extras on the DVD, as it explains what they were trying to do with this movie.
