I played this game now in novermber 2021 with all settings on Max on my RTX3070 and I have to say: this game looks incredible for a 7 year old game.

Even if it would come out now I would still consider the graphics top level.

Sure the story is cookie cutter nonsense, but the single player campaign is super entertaining, and the game mechanics work very well.

I finished it in a little under 10 hours, some might do it in 7 and yes you might say that is short but Return to Castle Wolfenstein for example and many other older shooters clocked in at also about 10 hours. So long enough for me. If you want more, you can play the multiplayer I guess, which I don't give a rats ass about :)

you can buy it for 15 euros or less which is good value for money.

So highly recommended!

I wasn't sure in what way this movie was connected to The Shining to which it is the official sequel. Well some scenes are recreated with other actors, so no CGI versions or altered images. Doctor Sleep is about Danny (or Doc), the kid who's father went rather nuts in The Shining. He had a rough life but managed to contain the demons from the Overlook hotel and moves to another town to start again. But off course there are other evildoers at large... It clocks in at 2,5 hours and actually feels a bit like a TV series. It's good entertainment and it keeps you interested and engaged but takes a decent while to get going. McGregor does a decent job, but the star of the movie is Rebecca Furgusson as she makes for a charismatic antagonist. As most movies these days it's not actually very scary but it has a good atmosphere and has good production values. I guess it's a recommended watch for Shining fans but I won't be watching this again anytime soon, because of the length and also because it's far from a classic. 7,5/10 for me!

The movie is pretty much what I expected: a horror movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. There is humor in it that works most of the time. Though for a horror movie it's actually not that explicit: real gore is off camera mostly, you actually don't see that much. At a certain moment a head is bashed in with a fire extinguisher, but you only see the blood splatter, not the head being bashed in. They should have gone the 'braindead/dead alive' route with much over the top gore, that would add to the comedy and make it funnier. The 90 minutes go by smoothly and it's a decent watch but don't expect it to be a horror classic.
