A number of characters hurt and kill people during this horror movie.
This film is more action-sci-fi than horror even though it does have some scary elements
"Doctor Sleep" isn't necessarily as scary as its predecessor "The Shining", but it contains a fair amount of scares and violence.
The True Knot is a pseudo-cannibalistic cult that goes around the country killing people who possess the shining. They steal their powers through killing them and consuming their "steam" (life force), discarding the bodies when finished. This can be pretty disturbing for some.
A young girl is killed offscreen at the start of the movie.
