Ewan McGregor does a great job playing a poor middle-aged version of Danny Torrance. We first saw Danny in The Shining as a shy, innocent little boy who has special powers and gets dragged into some paranormal danger. For the fans who have waited 40 years to see what happened to Danny Torrance, we finally find the answer. Danny is now an alcoholic doctor living alone. He seems depressed and scared about his powers. He meets a young girl who also has similar powers. The young girl is being hunted by a women that is attempting to get her power. Together, they try and find a way to stop the fight before it's too late. We see the famous hotel from the original and it is so cool to see it again. Jack from the original The Shining returns but Jack Nicholson doesn't bring back his outstanding performance, which was somewhat disappointing. However, for The Shining fans who have waited years for this eventual continuation, they will not be disappointed.
