Bringing the IMDB trivia in: "According to director Mike Flanagan, the performance of Jacob Tremblay during the first take of his death scene was so intense that it surprised and scared the other actors, including Rebecca Ferguson, who was so horrified she was stammering and "couldn't get her lines out". When the scene was over, a grinning Tremblay jumped up, covered in fake blood, high-fived his father and walked over to the craft service to get a snack, leaving Ferguson and the rest of the cast "shell-shocked and traumatized".

This was directed by Mike Flanagan,the genius behind the series The Haunting of Hill House.

They really did a fantastic job of tying together the book with Kubrick's movie. You can tell they really cared about getting it right!

God this movie makes the shining abilities so cool and so beautifully portrayed. Rose’s astral projection is just an amazing sequence!

Rebecca Furgeson is one hell of an attractive woman and a damn good actress too. She is great in everything I have seen her in. This is such a great movie, my only gripe was some of the ending sequences. The cast was great, the call backs were great. Spooky, creepy and a great addition to the original. The baseball boy scene I knew was going to be rough for the misses. In the Blu-ray, the kid had a blast doing that scene so no worries! Cheers!

21:55 that actor on the right was Mr Danny Lloyd, the guy who played Danny Torrance in The Shining. Cool cameo by him! This was a perfect sequel n i've been waiting for this reaction n...HERE IT IS! All the casts were AMAZING! I love both Mr Ewan McGregor & Mrs Rebecca Ferguson! Both of them were SO gd in this! N ur reacting to the Director's Cut, 👍 up! THNKS for the reaction Sir & Mdm!🙏 (mayyyyb react to Malignant nxt? I know it "lost" in the poll🥺👉👈)

I’m so glad you broke this up! Seriously one of the best films that year and just an incredible horror film. I get goosebumps still. I can’t stan this film enough.

Jacob Tremblay is also in a phenomenal film called 'Room' with Brie Larson (who won an Oscar for her role), I recommend if you haven't seen!

The True Knot are truly terrifying monsters because they're also so human. And Abra is such a badass girl.

I remember not thinking much of the film going into the cinema to watch it. Then it ended and I was absolutely in love with the movie. I might be among the few who like it much more than The Shinning. Then I saw the director, Mike Flanagan and I understood why I loved it. He's a master! I seriously would like him to do a Superman movie. He's stated he loves Superman on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You. I've loved everything he's wrote.

I didn't notice this said Part 1 and when the reaction ended I sprang from my chair in protest, shouting expletives! I can't wait to see how you feel about the rest!

The significance of room 217 at the hospice is that in the novel of The Shining, the room wasn't 237, it was 217.

I really love how King has been embracing more and more of a Kingverse in his works, all tied into The Dark Tower storyline. For example, the True Knot is a lot like Pennywise, feasting on the souls of children in fear because they taste the best. Their eyes even resemble the Dead Lights at times. If someone managed to form a studio like the one Marvel put together just to adapt King books properly and with consistent quality and including all the tie-ins he leaves(post-credits scenes anyone), there could be some epic build-up to a real Dark Tower movie event. They could milk that for years and years and if they hurry, we could get King cameos. I feel like Flanagan could head that project quite well, but then we'd rob ourselves of all the original works he would have made us.

In the book Abra's mom is Danny's half sister from an affair that Jack had.

21:07 Yeah if he looks old he must be downright ancient compared to the rest of them.

Yeah I was pretty amazed by how much the actress that Wendy in this sounded like Shelley Duvall. I thought they were using old audio.

If Endgame didn't came out in 2019, this would be my favorite one of the year. Such a worthy sequel to Shinning!

Did anyone else notice that in Danny's interview for the job at the hospice, the set looked identical to Jack's interview at the Overlook?

Yep, this movie nailed the Addict mentality and recovery process. I mean, they didn't go too in-depth, but: He was an Alcoholic, he hit his "Rock Bottom", He joined a Sobriety Group and gained a Support System, stuck to sobriety while battling urges. This movie got a lot of things "right". The violence against children was just horrifying, Jacob Tremblay is an amazing actor and he was only 13 when he starred in this. Jeez.

Favorite part about this movie is that it doesn't explain what the shining is. But you still "know" what it is. Very well done display.

“She’s still got the bush, though.” LOL!!!!

With how much the lady is predicting story point before they happen, she DEFINITELY shines.

18:42 Don’t count your chickens. 217 was the number of the room in the book.

i was really worried about her reaction during the baseball scene but she pulled through!

This might be your best reaction yet. Love your channel guys, keep up the good work.

A lot of actors from the Hill House Netflix show and the tall guy from the bad guys pack is the guy who played Lurch from Addams movies!

This just might be your best video yet.

When the Doctor is offering Danny the job at the hospice he is doing it in an office that is a recreation of the manager's office at the Overlook Hotel.

fun fact, in the book, it was room 217. it's a nod to the original "the shining" book.

217 was the original room from the novel. That's the same number room that the old man was in.

The boy's death scene was one of the hardest thing to watch

In the novel this is based on, Danny is Abra`s uncle although he doesn`t know it. Abra`s mother is the result of an affair his father had with a teaching assistant. In the novel Danny lives through these events. The film changes that which is something I don`t like . Rose The Hat is one of King`s scariest villains . Unlike most of his others , she can hide in plain sight . She can also invade your dreams . Believe it or not this film failed at the box-office. So glad it`s finding new fans in the home market. It`s a masterpiece.

Becoming one of my favorite movies - the rewatchability is super high for me. I would love to see a double feature of this with the Shining in theaters - I would absolutely love a prequel showing the early days of the True Knot crew - freaking love Rose the Hat!!!!

If you see at 17:25 when he’s being interviewed for the job, thats almost the exact remake of the original room Jack Torrence was interviewed at in the overlook hotel.

I thought the casting of Danny and his mom and Mr Halleran is amazing.

I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out, but Danny LLoyd (the original Danny) makes an appearance at 21:56

217 was the room number in the book so the first patients room is definitely a nod to that

What an underrated film!

"So they are the darkness consuming the light" RIGHT ON!

Abra was as hard as a coffin nail. She sees the True Knot's vile murder of a child and gets pissed, not scared. Then she goes hunting. 🐯

Small detail that a lot of people never noticed, the mom comment on Danny's eyes looking like his father. After locking the ghost in the box he changes his eye color to Ewan's color. Plus there's more to the whole uncle Dan thing, in the book it's revealed he's actually related to the little girl.

This movie is amazing. Enjoy everything about it. Just watched malignant and it was pretty terrifying but overall I enjoyed its originality for a horror film. Btw, love y'alls reactions and commentary, appreciate y'all.

This did right what Star Wars did wrong regarding an established film and building upon the story.

This movie kept me at the edge of my seat but then yet the best part was when the little girl knew how to control her power and made that woman fly through the air and from then on on the woman that flew in the air her time was slowly ending which made for a great ending of the movie and the evil was defeated.

i've been binge watching your reviews past few weeks and theyre great. can't wait for the final part of this film review and see how much you guys enjoy it. it's really nice how you interweave scenes from the film so we know where you're at. so many reviewers seem to miss key points where as you two really immerse yourself and actually watch the films rather than for critique or making the review while watching. it's almost like watching these films for the first time again. great work.

My favourite film of the last several years. Mike Flanagan is the real deal. Can't wait for his Midnight Mass this weekend.

Danny Lloyd who played the original Danny Torrance made a cameo in the baseball scene . Very cool

Fun fact: Where they kill the little boy the actor that plays Rose The Hat was pretty emotional as she just had her child a few years ago i think...so she was pretty messed up especially since she had to act the part etc. After the scene she went to the kid like: "are you ok? all good?" and the kid is like: "ye but id like a coke" lol

Tony is actually adult Danny, cuz in the book The Shining Anthony is Danny's middle name, so Adult Danny in spirit form visits little Danny Torrence in 1980 and calls himself Tony. Daniel ,Anthony Torrance.

Pay attention to the guy with a moustache talking to another guy about the kid at bat #19's shining ability to play baseball at the baseball game. The moustached man is actually grown up Danny Lloyd that played Danny in the Shining in 1980.

Still,watch Malignant.I am extremely curious to see the Mrs. reaction to it.Thanks a lot,and keep rockin’!

7:04 The Sixth Sense moment: Cole´s hands on the table after THAT chilling poltergeist like scene.

The baseball game. The man in the red hat. THAT'S ACTUAL DAN TORRANCE! He came back to acting for this movie.

"are you ready to jump in?" "i .. don't have any other options" LOL

I re-watched this film with my dad recently, still absolutely love it and feel it's not just a worthy sequel, but holds up as a standalone film given its distinct style and great performances, and having a genuine sense of heart shine through the horror (no pun intended). I don't love the original Shining film, its great in certain aspects but I have issues with it, so I like that this leaned more into its own identity with the traditional Stephen King ideas, like just acknowledging the ghosts for what they are, you couldn't tell this story whilst maintaining that mystery aspect of the 1980 film. I've got some nitpicks with the Director's cut even though I do prefer it to the theatrical. Really the only major one is the incredible bar scene I think is better in the theatrical cut without the bathroom scene afterwards. As soon as Danny says no to taking his medicine his arc is complete, and they were smart with how they shot the actor playing Jack from side profile with only the final shot being front on, so it continuing after that just feels unnecessary to me. Plus it's super distracting since it's not Jack Nicholson, and I love when Danny tells him about having to alter his mother's mind so she could look at him normally again, the emotional performance there was enough for me, I didn't need a flashback earlier showing it. Still, quality reactions as usual.

I'm sorry yall the main antagonist in this movie might be a reprehensible monster but she's just SO fine lol

When Dan wakes up to the corpse of the woman and child in his bed, hes still intoxicated to the point that he can't tell the difference between what's just drunk hallucinations/ dreams and what's actually his shining.

The man at the baseball field is the original actor who played Danny.

I think this is up there with Aliens, Terminator 2, and The Godfather 2 as one of the best sequels of all-time. While it might not be quite up there in that elite stratosphere, it is dang near as perfect of a continuation of that story that anybody could've asked for. The new plot, the Danny character arc, and Rose the Hat make it one of the most interesting films of the last 10 years. Just like Solo: A Star Wars Story, it flopped at the Box Office but will probably end up a cult favorite in its respective franchise, IMO.

10:46 - I'm kinda nervous for part 2. the Mrs. is a fighter though. My sister hated me for not warning her 😅

Dr. Sleep was a rare good example of people who understood and respected its source material and built upon it, both the books and the movie. I really wish more people in Hollywood and streaming would take the same care with other franchises.

The Shining and this one has one thing in common i love. In both movies you see badass sweaters!

Collecting Shiny People.....LOL

Ewn McGregor also played in Big Fish

so thrilled that you're watching this and that it's a 2 parter! this movie was a gem.. especially for super-fans of the Shining like me!

So glad you watched this ! I was one promoting it to you. Great job.

21:55 there's the original Danny from the 1980 movie!

21:55 The guy in the blue hat is Danny Lloyd. He played Danny in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.

This movie and the acting are so, so good. The care that was put into it really shows 10/10

Tom, & Crow! Ok, you've got my respect.

danny lloyd cameo(danny from original shining)at 21:56!

The bearded guy at the baseball game was the original Danny from the shining. He doesn't act anymore but they got him for a cameo.

To give Shelly Duvall that haunted look to her eyes in The Shinning, Kubrick mercilessly yelled and screamed at her, made her redo scenes over and over for near forty takes just to get her stressed out and get that haggered look. He was brutal and merciless when it came to perfecting his craft and getting people into the right emotional state for their roles. Ironically, he kept the kid that played Danny off set for scary scenes, and convinced him that they were making a comedy when the kid was on set, which is probably the only nice thing anyone ever remembers Kubrick doing for anyone.

I would like to suggest to you guys the movie "The Skeleton Key" to a react video. I think Mrs. Movie will like it.

You guys should watch Malignant too. Whether intentionally or not, it's the best comedy of the year.

I’ll never be able to watch the Jacob Tremblay death scene without getting extremely affected. I had to pause this reaction twice and just ended up skipping ahead. Couldn’t handle it.

At the baseball game, the man in the red hat is the original Dan Torrance.

I think the cat was watching people die for its amusement.

Ewan McGregor.. "what other movies have you seen him from?"... You should put Trainspotting on your list. Brilliant, funny, tragic and well written/filmed. I never noticed that Elm Str. sign the two times I've watched this movie. I wonder if it's the actual name of that street or if it was added as a tiny easter egg. ;)

Me I'm just here still trying to figure out how those headphones work with that hat.That must be his shining.

Love this movie. Glad you're watching The Haunting of Hill House as well. Mike Flanagan has another series coming out this Friday that looks really good as well called Midnight Mass.

I have never looked at campers and travel trailers the same way since I read this book. Now I get a little freaked out when I see them driving down the road.

One of my favourite movies.

The tall old man in the trueknot is the guy who plays lurch in the 90's movie the Addams family

So very happy with this. Starting Part II immediately.

Interesting bit of trivia -- the cat in the hospice is based on a real cat, named Oscar. Check out a book called MAKING THE ROUNDS WITH OSCAR for the full story, although there is a really good feature news story that can be found online. Oscar was a cat in either a hospice or a care facility for the elderly, I forget which. Oscar was pretty standoffish, except when someone was about to die; Oscar would go into their rooms and lay down on their beds to keep them company. His actions were so accurate at "predicting" a patient's imminent death that when the nursing staff would see him in a patient's room, they would call the family to let them know to come say their final goodbyes. (Side trivia -- the term for a being [otherworldly, or spirit, or gifted mortal] who helps a person to cross over into death, to make the transition as it were, is "psychopomp.")

Surprised y’all didn’t notice that the room in which Danny is given a job at the hospice is identical to the one in which his father was given the job of caretaker at the Overlook

Danny: The Shine has always been strong in family. My father had it. I have it. My niece has it.......yes Abra, its you.

Haha we are back to the covering of the eyes

Dont know if you noticed this, but the office at the hospice center where Danny had the interview is the exact same office in the Overlook Hotel when Jack Torrance was having his interview for the caretaker position!

Dr. Sleep was criminally underrated.

So here's some things they skip over in the movie due to them trying to continue from the first movie: 1. Part of the reason Danny and Abra have such a strong connection is because they are related. Abra's grandmother was a woman whom Danny's father had an affair with years ago. Abra's mom is Danny's half- sister, making Abra his half- niece. 2. Jack Torrance is revealed to have had the shining and this was why he became an alcoholic. Unlike Danny, he never truly knew what the shining was or that he had it. He knew he had some special abilities, but they scared him, and he turned to drinking. As Danny got older he started to realize that alcohol got rid of the shining abilities and he ended up down the same path as his dad. 3. The guy who managed to convince Danny to get help was also gifted with the shining, he mentions he can sense when people are down on their luck and need help. He is part of the reason why so many people voluntarily go to AA. 4. In the end of The Shining book, the hotel is destroyed when Jack momentarily gains his sanity and tries but fails to keep the generator from exploding. The True Knot can sense the dark energy from the hotel and thus make the former foundation of the Overlook Hotel their base of operations. In the book it mentions how they are very rich and bought the area where the hotel once stood so no one is allowed to go there. As in the movie, the final battle takes place there just minus the hotel. 5. Danny does NOT die in the end in the book, he actually celebrates 15 years of sobriety with Abra's family. They changed the details because although in the books they mention he is related to Abra, it wouldn't make sense to have him hang out with her family in the movie because they take that part out, 6. As Ya'll mentioned, Dick does not die either, at least not when Danny is a child. Another fact the movie left out is that his grandmother taught him how to make the boxes in his mind. He was sexually abused by his grandfather and after his death he would still haunt Dick, his grandmother helped him trap him in a box. 7. In the book Danny mentions that he sees flies on people before they die. He had seen them on his mom before she succumbed to lung cancer, and also saw them on the girl from the beginning of the movie with the little boy. This pre- knowledge of people's death, and realizing he knew his mom would die before she did, was a big reason he turned to alcohol. The mom you see with the baby was confirmed to have died of an overdose while her son was killed her abusive boyfriend. 8. An interesting little fact about Snakebite Andi, the girl who can make people believe what she wants them to. She was molested by her father for years, even into her early teens. Eventually she stabbed him to death and becomes very resentful towards men, more specifically older men. She decides to use her young appearance to lure these men onto dates and then rob them as well as expose them as the creeps they are. In the book she and Rose actually become lovers for a while and Andi recalls that Rose was the very first person to give her a good sex experience.

21:56 is Danny Lloyd from The Shining

In the original Shining book, there's no maze, the hedges are topiary animals that come to life. Jack stalks Wendy with a croquet mallet, not an axe. And he dies when he regains his sanity and uses the boiler to blow up the hotel, sacrificing himself to save Danny and Wendy from the hotel. Tony is revealed to be older Danny using his psychic abilities to try and keep his younger self safe. His full name is Daniel Anthony Torrance. There's a miniseries of The Shining that King personally made in the 90s that is far more faithful to the book and in it you see Tony talking to Danny, he isn't just Danny's finger. At the end you see adult Danny graduating from college and it's the Tony you've been seeing the whole film. I believe Jack's ghost is there smiling, too.

11:54, Zahn McClarnon, Akecheta of Westworld.

Just to clarify the room rly is 217 at least in the books but the hotel didnt have that number so they went with the most similar which is i guess 237 Also John Torrence is the name not Jack but since Jack Nicholson played him i guess they went with Jack

Great. first reaction Mr and Mrs movies, i love this movie great sequel, i remember reading the first part of the book with the old lady in the tub creeped me right out. Also the baseball kid's death so so uncomfortable I'm with Mrs movies on that one. Thanks for doing this guys.🙂

Every time I watch a reaction or just watch this movie in general, or anything of Mike Flanagan's horror, always inspires me to keep writing my book

Such a great film, glad you two are diggin it, also, Trainspotting is a classic!

I love this more than the shinning.
