Well, it was creepy.
Not as creepy as the Shining, at all, even remotely.
I preferred the subtly creepy way that in The Shining they made the antagonist be the hotel, as opposed to the heavy-handed creepy way in Doctor Sleep that they made the antagonist be … be … be … well, it’s revealed in the opening scene, so I don’t suppose it would count as a spoiler, but still I won’t share. It isn’t subtle.
Personally, I didn’t like it. There were some nice callbacks to the old movie, and while most were pleasant, some just took iconic images and cheapened them by overuse.
