Doctor Sleep 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman February 22, 2020

Warner Brothers and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for the Horror sequel 'Doctor Sleep,' the long anticipated follow-up to the legendary novel and film 'The Shining.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Doctor Sleep 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  2.0 of 5

The white-dominant Doctor Sleep UHD SteelBook presents the film's title in rather simple, straightforward lettering, center, cutting through a ghostly, silverly, slightly reflective Dan, played by Ewan McGregor. Within his torso is a red-dominant depiction of a boy on a tricycle riding towards closed doors inside the hotel. The rear panel continues with the intense white dominance. Center in scrawled lettering is the word "redrum," famously "murder" spelled backwards. A billing block appears in the bottom quarter. The spine carries the white and simplistic layout, bringing over the film's title in the same type as seen on the front. A Warmer Brothers logo appears at the bottom.

Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a chilling two-panel spread that features Dan far left looking across a darkened room at the word "murder" with the second "r" turned backwards. An interesting hodgepodge of odds and ends appear throughout the scene in between.

Doctor Sleep 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.5 of 5

Doctor Sleep may not be in the same narrative or filmmaking excellence class where resides its legendary predecessor, but it's a solid movie in its own right and a worthy follow-up to The Shining both on page and on the screen. The UHD is terrific and the SteelBook works well in visual tone and layout. Highly recommended.
