Doctor Sleep is a sequel to 1980 horror film The Shining where we find psychic child Danny, now an adult alcoholic drifter, teaming up with a young girl named Abra verses the murderous Rose the Hat and her evil band of "vampires" who suck the life out of tortured souls. This film takes great pains to explain what happened to the boy and how he must finish putting to rest the other ghouls of the Overlook Inn Hotel. Interesting characters and a few plot twists make it memorable.

Abra Stone: You're magic. Like me.
Danny Torrance: You need to listen to me. The world's a hungry place. A dark place. I've only met two or three people like us. They died. When I was a kid, I bumped into these things. I don't know about magic. I, I always called it "the shining."
Trivia: When we see Abra's house, the number on the front is 1980. That was the same year the original Shining was released.
Question: When the "hotel" left Danny just before the boiler set on fire, why didn't he use that chance to leave the building?
