I thought this pic was cute Hans Matheson and Claire Danes as Marius and Cosette. Lose the Overlook, and you’ve got a pretty great horror film on your hands. Les Miserables -1998 film starring Liam Neeson. For its third act, however, the action returned to the Overlook Hotel, as depicted in Kubrick’s 1980 horror classic, and the whole affair devolved into a dizzy mania of references and callbacks. The violence in number four was softened to appeal to a wider market – and it undoubtedly lost something in the process.įor the first two-thirds of its runtime, Doctor Sleep was a generally winning horror film that did a good job of establishing its own distinct mythology – despite being a sequel to The Shining. The first two Die Hard films were released in the UK with an “18” rating (downgraded years later to a “15”). There would have been one easy way to give it a bit more of that original Die Hard grit, though: add in some proper violence.

Die Hard 4.0 was the first of John McClane’s outings that felt truly disposable, a by-the-numbers action thriller that fell miles short of the original’s magic. By the time any franchise is onto its third sequel, chances are there’s going to be a bit of a decline in quality (with all due respect to the freakish stamina of the Mission: Impossible films).
