10 Horror Movies That Put Insane Effort Into Details Nobody Noticed

10. Doctor Sleep - The Perfect Shining Replicas 

Doctor Sleep was made by a brave man. The Shining, its literary and cinematic predecessor, is perhaps the most culturally important film to embrace the horror genre. Author Stephen King's dislike for Kubrick's thematic departure did not slow the success of the movie or prevent King from penning a sequel.

The real surprise came when King acquiesced to public opinion - Kubrick's version is accepted canon and King realised that success would only come from embracing both sources.

Directed and written by Mike Flanagan, Doctor Sleep depicts the life of the now adult and alcoholic Danny Torrence, originally played by child actor Daniel Lloyd and now by Ewan McGregor. Flanagan himself is no stranger to the genre either, having directed the standout House On Haunted Hill and its second iteration, The Haunting Of Bly Manor.

Flanagan does not disappoint, stylistically at least; the Overlook Hotel is recreated in stunning detail that all but the most keen-eyed might miss. Dr. Dalton's office, in which Danny is interviewed for the orderly position, is an exact replica of Mr. Ullman's office in the Overlook, where Jack Nicholson was interviewed for the caretaker's job, right down to the paint colour and the small American flag on the right side of the desk.
