* ApprovalOfGod: Writer/Director Creator/MikeFlanagan worked closely with Creator/StephenKing as well as the Kubrick estate to ensure the movie was a pleasing adaptation of the book and a satisfactory sequel to the film. By most accounts, all parties involved are happy with King even saying the film made him ease up somewhat from his notorious dislike of the Kubrick film (as an adaptation. He said it is a good horror movie in itself, but rather sees it as a work that is ''inspired'' by the novel rather than an adaptation), saying "Everything that I ever disliked about the Kubrick version of The Shining is redeemed for me here."

* ProductionPosse: Creator/MikeFlanagan used some of the same actors he cast in ''Film/GeraldsGame'' and ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse''. Jacob Tremblay also cameos after his first starring role ([[TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment sorta]]) in Flanagan's ''Film/BeforeIWake''. In fact, virtually every member of the True Knot (with the exception of Creator/ZahnMcClarnon) has previously appeared in one of Flanagan's works.
