I have to say, like others before me, that I wish I had re-watched The Shining before seeing this film. I think then I could have made more of a connection between both and appreciated the story more. I did enjoy the concept, but, for me personally, it felt as though this film had nothing to do with The Shining. Or that maybe my idea of what the shining was, was in actual fact, completely and utterly wrong! Which is more than likely 😂 but I just found the whole idea of the soul eaters, well off base. Although, I have not read the books and having spoken with someone that had, they have said that its pretty much how it goes...

Anyway, even though I struggled to find the connection between the two films, I have to say that the idea itself really drew me in. And the execution was beautiful, it was so visually pleasing at times! The acting was also brilliant and I am pleased I went to see it. Wish it had been a little creepier, I remember not being able to sleep soundly after watching The Shinning! But fascinating film nonetheless, a definite must see.
