No one makes this comparison because it's not flattering but Flanagan is VERY much like Ryan Murphy.

The Freddie episode really hosed me up when little kid Freddie appears, is so excited to see his daddy, then falls apart in his arms That hit like a truck compared to episode 2.

I’m just gonna say it. Robert Quarry as Count Yorga is a better Dracula than Christopher Lee as Dracula.

Doltos posted:Midnight Mass was insanely boring to me but Hill House was extremely good even though they're both similarly paced. That's really interesting, because to me they're basically polar opposites: - Hill House, a show that's frontloaded with memorable ghost stories and scares, but which doesn't have a good narrative way to effectively tie all of those together to provide an effective threat or final confrontation, so it completely loses its momentum and its direction towards the end. - Midnight Mass, a show that has a great final monster and a great central turn for Hamish Linklater, but which doesn't want to give the game away too quickly, so instead it mills about for too long doing setup work and character drama with a bunch of sub-Stephen King townies, and strains the audience's patience in the process.

I was pleasantly surprised by Five Nights At Freddie’s, not sure why it’s bombing on critics side. I love Emma Tammi’s work and was really glad she was chosen for it.

If I hadnt already played the games I would've been completely lost on what was going on. Also its heartening that one of the biggest childrens franchises is based on a child murderer. My 5 year old niece is aware and knows the Freddy characters and this is what the franchise is. I'm all about it.

Having some familiarity with Youtubers from my sons, that was exactly the kind of person I wanted to see suffer, and was suspicious of for much of the runtime even after he ate a bunch of poo poo. Deadstream is so much fun! Should be way more popular.

dorium posted:Hell House LLC: Charmichael Manor was REAL GOOD. Like the best of the series. They finally ironed out all the weird tension issues they had with 2/3, dumped a bunch of lore at the garbage dump and make the scares even more effective than the best ones in 1. God damnit this is gonna make me sign up for Shudder at the 11th hour isn’t it, hell House LLC was good poo poo.

Stupid as gently caress and with atrocious padding, but extremely good-natured. Now check out the rest of the subgenre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfj2sy3oQAk I'm not one to recommend film YouTube essays because they're mostly garbo and obnoxious, but this channel is a ton of fun.

it’s so insane that the fourth Hell House LLC movie is somehow good. (I really liked the first one but haven’t seen any of the others; I’d have to imagine it’s diminishing returns in 2 and 3)

Not so lost in the lore anymore that I personally didnt care about.

 This is perhaps the pre-eminent Rock'n'Roll Vampire movie (gently caress Queen of the Damned), and as a bonus has Toni Basil as a horned-up vampire momma trying to get her son laid. Best of luck to her, but honestly she should probably just give up, given what she's working with:

You are correct that it’s diminishing returns.

Not so lost in the lore anymore that I personally didnt care about. We recently went through the three originals and 2 definitely feels better on a rewatch, but it's absolutely the worst of the three. The third movie gets a little too big for its britches in the end and comes off slightly silly, but is overall a solid movie. I'm really looking forward to the new one.

Yeah prove me wrong but I don't really see why it needed a sequel, the ambiguity is a big reason It Follows was good. Sequel with returning characters just undercuts all of it

My feeling towards the Red Death episode of Usher (apparently one of the better ones?) was that I would much rather be watching Gaspar Noe's Climax. also, re Climax the twink who hooks up with the DJ honestly seems to have a really nice night. I feel bad that he has to find out about all the horrible things that happened while he wasn't paying attention

I mean if Gasper Noe is what you’re into then Mike Flanagan is definitely not going to give you what you need. They’re drat near opposites.
