Again, open spoilers from here on out.
So, the return to the Overlook is probably the most spoilery part of the movie and probably what a lot of people are looking for. If I want to give this movie credit for one, it's how painstakingly detailed the recreation of the Overlook was. The man who played Jack Torrance, Henry Thomas, absolutely killed it for the brief period of screentime he got. It was almost uncanny how well he was able to recreate the mannerisms of Nicholson.
Also, probably the other major scene people will be talking about; the abduction of baseball boy. That entire scene was so unnerving and difficult to watch. I thought for sure there would've been some Deus Ex Machina to save him, but no, he got torn open and eaten alive.
I'm not the biggest King aficionado so if there were any references to his other works (I already know they're all in the same universe) then they we're lost on me.
