Doctor Sleep: Why Baseball Boy’s Death Scene Was Almost Even Worse

The Doctor Sleep baseball boy scene was the most brutal of the movie, but the original cut was even worse. Directed by Mike Flanagan, the 2019 sequel to The Shining is based on the book of the same name by Stephen King. Ewan McGregor stars as Dan Torrance, having grown since his experiences at the Overlook Hotel and working to protect children with similar gifts as him from the evil True Knot, a group of cannibals fed on the “steam” that comes from killing people gifted with the Shine.
