Mike was seriously becoming my favorite director during Haunting at Hill House. I loved Dr. Sleep and how it finally told the ending to the Shining story. It made me go back and watch every single piece of work he directed and I loved most of them but not all.
Unfortunately, I am not sure if its the producers, Netflix, or some other "entity" out there, but I feel like he is losing his touch or "rinse and repeat". The scare tactics are the same. I don't mind the reusing of actors from time to time as I get it...he has some favorites. The slow melancholy piano music is getting to be the same over and over. I am starting to feel another M. Night Shyamalan coming on with a few great works but it goes down hill from there.
Please, Mike, for the sake of your fans...evolve. You have a gift of story telling that could make you one of the best out there....but your fans need more than "rinse and repeats". Transform the thriller industry. Take a step up and not back, and give us something that we want to watch over and over, tell our friends about, and always come back as one of the classics.
This Midnight Club had some good story telling, some good scares, some good plots, some good emotions, some good acting, some good directing....but you are better than mediocrity. Mike, become what we all think you are capable of.
