I watched it cuz I actually enjoyed midnight mass by the same dude. But I can’t remember anything about this one really. It’s quite forgettable so I’m assuming it’s generic. I genuinely am trying but very little comes to mind. I think they made multiple of it as well.
There’s a part of me that thinks maybe it was just slightly above ok but if you like the genre of horror, Midnight Mass is the better series to watch.
Just watch it homosexual
>he thinks OP hasn't watched it
You know how this board works, right, homosexual ?
It was kino until they fricked up the ending
>the house is actually...LE GOOD
Completely shits on the entire premise
That’s not what happened at all lmao
Yes it is.
>everyone lives forever here together. Dying here is good! I can reunite with my loved ones
Watch again moron.
Which character said that?
The son literally says "everyone there walks together" at the end. And the housekeeper takes his wife to die there so she can be with their dead kids. Not to mention the father who kills himself to be with his wife and daughter
The dad killed himself so he could save everyone at the end as a ghost. Idk man I never got the impression everybody was clamoring to die there afterward, it’s just that some of the ghosts aren’t bitter buttholes. Doesn’t mean that being a ghost is awesome.
Yes, it admittedly can be understood as le good for that reason, but the little sister actually says it was slowly "digesting" them, which is hardly le good. I guess the house, without being a boogeyman, is kind of something you have to be reconciled with, like your own mortality : might as well be in there together.
That's not exactly how I would described the ending, but you do you
it's god tier. and bly manor is even better
The house isn't good or bad. It stops you from moving on. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to you. If you can't accept your departure from the world, if there's a loved one that you can't abandon, then staying in the house is the best outcome for you. It's not healthy, it's not good, but it's the most peace that some people will ever be able to have.
they say the house feeds on it's victims somehow so it is evil no doubt, or else it wouldn't lure people in the way it does.
The house uses people to lure others in, but it also shows them what they want. It's also created by the people inside it. Whether there is a separate 'house' entity at all or just the distorted will of people who died there is unclear.
mmmm
dyke kino make my peepee big
The series is kino.
All 3 to be honest. The scares were scary, the family drama ranged from ok to bullshit. The psychic glove girl was honestly the worst part of it. She was hot but like... wtf, in the midst of this story of hauntings and family problems, theres this girl who is like the writers OC self insert or some shit? Shes a lesbian, she has psychic rogue powers and has to wear gloves because shes just sooooo psychic? It was stupid. You can have your capeshit character, or your haunted house. Both does not work.
Urgh, yes they really went overboard with the dyke, it was frankly off-putting having it in the very first episode, and then, as you say, it was all about "ooh I'm so special and my powers isolate me from everyone (aside from the fact I'm a b***h)"
Midnight Mass was way better
They basically paired a good horror director with a fanfic-tier writer. Some of the scenes were genuinely scary, but the writing was so fricking horrible I had to drop it halfway through. It's only good if you're a woman who laps up Netflix trash.
I liked it, but felt like it fizzled out to me. It had a very slow start and then got really good with episodes 3-4-5 and then it just sort of slowly dissipated.
I disliked the episode that was like 2 long takes, or maybe it was more than 2 but the actors were not at all good enough to pull that off and their performances ruined it, also it just wasn't a very interesting premise to do long takes out of. I suspect it'd be even worse on rewatch.
Looks scary. The title reminds me of the Haunting or House on Haunted Hill.
i only watched the first season and it felt like an overall 6/10, maybe bump up a point if you're really into paranormal horror themes. they took the time and made an effort to build the characters/relationships and the resolutions were mostly satisfying.
there was one scene that was purely masturbatory by the director. the scattered easter eggs/hints were fun if you're into that kind of thing.
The theme song is beautiful
Pretty good, some really great parts, but the last episode of S1 was really shit.
S2 was consistent but not amazing.
S2 was shit, it was a gay romance story masquerading as a horror
Worked for me, I liked the idea behind ghosts slowly forgetting their identity and the kids were fun.
The only part I really disliked was the characters pretending the pajeet cook is some kind of charismatic Adonis.
For me, the worst part was reusing one of the cast from S1 to play the future-version of one of the British actors, despite them not being able to do a British accent in the slightest
No but I want to orgy the sisters.
I liked it. Very spooky, cool episodic set up, great family drama, cool Easter eggs of ghosts hidden in the background, and actually decent ending. I’d say it’s the only good Netflix original outside of Daredevil
It was great. Everything Flanagan does is at least good, even shit not-so-great-sequels.
Yes.
it's good on its own, but it's probably the most unfaithful adaptation of a book i've ever come across. and yes the book is better.
Hill house was peak kino, bly manor was ok but definitely did not hit the high the first season hit.
I loved it. It also like perfectly did the things that really scares me, which is ghost/demon/possession shit. I'm a big horror guy, not much gets to me, but there was a moment at the end of one of the episodes that I literally couldn't think about at night without getting freaked out. That hadn't happened to me since I was like 8. It's 100% worth a watch. It's genuinely good and the horror is top notch and used sparingly
What moment, anon ?
I stopped watching after the first few episode when that kid was quoting directly from philosophy books and the mom tipped her fedora. Just moronic as frick
the whole point of Stephen's character is a fedora atheist who doesn't believe in any of the magic shit, anon.
Don't see what you're referring to tbh
