Heard it was good and so far all the spooky Netflix specials have been lame so looking forward to starting this one.

They made it into a Netflix series?

They made it into a Netflix series? They have touched on it but it hasnt been a focus. I honestly expected the show to suck but ive been pleasantly surprised. Its not just jump scares with lame characters and story telling. It focuses on character building probably moreso than the horror elements. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've watched the first four and it's quite good. It's not entirely horror, or at least, a lot of the horror is just from the drama of the situation. I really find the characters interesting and the writing is quite good. The child actors are also really good imo. I might even prefer the child scenes to the present. I do like that narrative tool though, of two storylines and showing how the future came to be because of the present.
Some of the spooks are quite effective. Holy shit at episode 4!! --- How quaint. Join the Dank Chamber today: https://discord.gg/YwmDmtZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

After Zodd mentioning they watched the first episode and enjoyed it, I decides to throw it on. My two housemates binge watched the whole season until 1am. We all really enjoyed it.

It definitely focuses more on family dealing with trauma than horror, but still pretty good. Like This Is Us with ghosts.

I watched both and as someone that is pretty anti horror because of cheap jumpscares, go with this. Maniac is great in its own right but the acting on this show (especially the child actors) is top notch and extremely well written. Its a slow burn (the first 7 episodes basically set up the last 3 [I know this doesn't make sense but you'll understand it, the first 7 episodes each focus on one family member mostly]) but it is well executed. Highly, highly recommend it. One of the Netflix series that isn't shit. --- https://i.imgtc.com/jUodQdE.jpg Barbecue confederate flags over spare time ... Copied to Clipboard!

Watching it now, about to start episode 3. Idk how to explain it so far, it's dark and dreary, but intriguing. It has a better story and plot than most horror shows/movies which i'm digging.

I wouldn't sell it on the fear factor alone, and the ending slipped a bit, but i really enjoyed it.
For so long, the star of the show in horror movies has been either the killer or the death/scare scenes, with characters just being something to kill off or torment and the show/movie being little more than an excuse to string horror sequences together. Mike Flanagan seems to be going for a more character-driven style of horror, even if it means easng back a bit on the scares. At first i wasn't sold of his work because i went into horrors expecting the usual, but it's a really nice change to actually care about the characters even despite their flaws. Looking back on his other stuff, i can't say i disliked them, they just didn't meet what i was expecting from a horror film at the time. --- You're so vain, You probably think this sig is about you. ...

I'd just like to enjoy them while they have a bit more substance (ie, ANY substance). When you think that modern horror has roots in some amazing stories, it makes you wonder what the fuck happened to make the genre turn out the way it has been for the past few decades. --- You're so vain, You probably think this sig is about you. ...

All of the white people do seem hard to keep track of at first but by the end of the first few episodes theyve all managed to differentiate themselves (even the kids).
The ending though.... was pretty bad. Overall its a great series and I would highly recommend to any horror fans. --- http://weareontherun.bandcamp.com ^^^^^ HEY! ^^^ LISTEN! ^^^^^ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just finished the pilot. Very promising stuff. It was a weird setup, having to piece everything together, but it settled in nicely thanks to a good director who trusts that his audience arent idiots.
The scariest thing so far was the opening scene IIRC, when the little girl is trying to sleep and the boy comes out of the wall. --- Let me talk to your mother. Get your mother please. ... Copied to Clipboard!
