Well, Flanagan has taught us that horror is usually better when is supported by a fine drama behind its story. "The Haunting" series proved that, but his new movie/limited series offers us another dimension, as he explores so many important themes like fanaticism in religion, grief, betrayal, self-confidence and self-belief, making this a great drama above all, with the actors giving themselves a masterful performance.
I think it's easily one of his best work, and one of the best year's pieces of not only horror but drama.
Since it's a show that deals with deeper themes and meanings, there will be (like always) manny comments about its slow pace (at least at the beggining), but those are complaints coming from people who probably never saw a Bergman or Dreyer movie, meditating about our lone existence and values, and at the same time giving us important questions that haunt for long after the credits roll.
To me, this is a must-see for any movie freak out there!
