The premise

Still scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook Hotel, Dan Torrance faces the ghosts of the past when he meets Abra, a courageous teen who desperately needs his help -- and who possesses a powerful extrasensory ability called the "shine".

Horror Vault's take

Decades after barely escaping the Overlook Hotel with his life, a grown Danny Torrance is still fighting demons — both literal and personal. When a fiercely gifted teenager named Abra crosses his path, her extraordinary power draws the attention of a predatory group that Danny knows she cannot face alone. The film weaves a haunting legacy of childhood trauma with a new battle that forces Danny to reckon with everything he has spent years trying to forget. Mike Flanagan crafts a worthy continuation that honors its predecessor while carving out its own identity.
