imagine you get released from the psych ward and the first thing your sister says is that she wants to revisit your childhood trauma

I want to say that this movie was a pleasant surprise, but it wasn't... not because it was bad, but because I was expecting something great, and that's exactly what I got. If you're familiar with director Mike Flanagan, it's probably because you were lucky enough to stumble across his 2011 film Absentia, which is in my opinion one of the finest low-budget horror films to come out in the last ten years or so (check it out on Netflix if you've yet to see it; there are some flaws in the performances, but every other aspect of the film is astounding). As soon as I finished watching Absentia - this was about a year ago - I looked up…

A lot of the individual beats here are sort of generic on their own (scary ghost lady especially) but the tricky structure and the story's internal logic recode them into something really precarious and fun.

“Mike Flanagan is not a one-trick pony!” – Mike Flanagan, professional one-trick pony.
A narratively creative story of familial dread and past trauma told through looming atmosphere, drawn-out dialogue, and snippets of parallel timelines where an unexplained supernaturally-endowed object may or may not be the cause of everyone’s problems—no, it’s not The Haunting of Hill House or Doctor Sleep or The Haunting of Bly Manor or [insert somber Flanagan dread piece], because THIS time there’s a giant ugly mirror involved.

So the other day I was talking to "Sin" about how good Flanagan is at maintaining originality even when he is adapting a story from an existing source material which makes the entire experience memorable and feels like a breath of fresh air. Then I started thinking about Kate Siegel and how stunning she looks, which further reminded me of that childhood friend of my GF who has a similar facial structure as Kate. While my GF was sitting next to me looking at some pictures of her friends, a thought occurred "I think I should break up with her and focus on her friend"...... Well... After a minute-long stare, I guess she read my…

why was she so concerned when she ate a lightbulb? lightbulbs are my favourite low-calorie snack!

You know you are watching a horror film or miniseries directed and written by Mike Flanagan if it has:
- Characters traumatized by an event in their childhood.
- Those characters have issues with their parents.
- And most importantly features Kate Siegel.

i would be able to tell the difference between reality and hallucination basically without even trying
