Not Flanagan's Best
10 October 2022
I decided to watch this despite the subpar reviews because Mike Flanagan did such a great job on The Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor. This was a disappointment for sure. It follows a young group of people who all have terminal diseases and one girls drive to find a cure in what might be a special house. I can say with all honesty the show was pretty pointless. It had such potential, but fell drastically short in every element. You had some jump scares which weren't really scary. There was a mystery to everything which turned out to pretty much be nothing. There were no points to any of the scares, ghosts, and absolutely no point to all the stories the midnight club told. In fact, it got to the point where I fast forwarded all of the dumb stories. And then the show just ended. There was no point to anything! If you are a fan of Flanagan's work, this will disappoint the crap out of you. Skip it and just wait for the Fall of the House of Usher to be released. You will see a few actors that Flanagan likes to use in his shows, but I think it was only a couple.
