Greatoneshere Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I'll be watching as soon as it drops. Mike Flanagan has been on a tear the past 7+ years, I mean: Oculus, Hush, Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep: Director's Cut, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass and The Midnight Club is a streak any horror director wishes they had. I know people weren't bullish on The Midnight Club but that was a YA adaptation and in that vein it was pretty well done. I know people felt the meandering monologues and lack of outright horror in Bly Manor and Midnight Mass made those worse than Hill House but they were still more adult horror done well than most stuff out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxmatt Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Mike Flanagan doesn't miss. I'll be curious if they do the whole season at once or weekly episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Hill House is probably his best Netflix run so far, I thought that Midnight Mass was absolutely on the same level, as with Bly Manor (just in a different way). Midnight Club was also great as a YA horror show. I'm very excited for this, as it appears to be a greatest hits of Poe short stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would agree - honestly in some ways the atmospheric horror or Bly Manor coupled with its more intense personal dramatic scenes between relative strangers makes me like it a bit more than Hill House, or it's at least more accomplished. Midnight Mass I feel the same way - it's just not trying to do what Hill House did in the first place. And The Midnight Club gets a bad rap, I'm with you - as a YA adaptation it is very well done and is pretty sad and has good teenage acting. 3 hours ago, TheLeon said: Hell yeah! I need to finish Midnight Club. I think I only got halfway through it. I definitely recommend you do! Just be aware the show was supposed to get at least a second season but due to the fallout between Mike Flanagan and Netflix, Netflix cancelled the show. The show still completely works as just one season, but Mike Flanagan released his pretty detailed plans to adapt additional books and where he had the unfinished plotlines going for a season 2. I definitely recommend reading what he had planned on doing once you finish the show as you'll get answers to any lingering questions.

Fizzzzle Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I fucking LOVED Midnight Mass. Easily one of my favorite series of the last decade. I also loved Hill House. Midnight Club and Bly Manor... they weren't my favorite, but they were still alright. I'm down for anything he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I absolutely loved Hill House, Bly Manor and Midnight Mass. Midnight Club was good, too. I'm really excited to watch this, but bummer it drops while we're in Japan. I'll have to binge it when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
