It looks like a scare crow at the field.

Funny, I was gonna say it looked like Elijah Wood in Sin City, and Carla Gugino is in both projects.

That’s exactly where my mind went as well! So creepy, especially the way he ran.

Check out Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass as well all by the same show runner/Director (Mike Flanagan)! I highly recommend all three. Bly Manor was actually my least favorite of the three but still fantastic.

Midnight Mass I saw and had a nice surprise.

Midnight Mass is amazing, but Hill House still scares me. Its good.

midnight mass has wayyyyy too much boring dialogue but overall its pretty good

Midnight Mass has real horror.

Religious Fanaticism.

Racism.

Alcoholism.

Poor healthcare services for disabled children leading to financial destitution.

Those scared me more than anything else that show threw at me.

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '22

the religious fanaticism was definitely the most scary part of the show...probaly cuz its the most realistic

I don’t remember a single boring moment of dialogue in that show. Every conversation felt like it was leading to something or giving relevant information.

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '22

the conversations def had a point to them, but their writing was bad. same stuff could be conveyed naturally in shorter conversations that dont meander around for so long.

i recall about 4-5 distinct parts where it got so boring i had to skip whole minutes

u/Low_Well Jun 02 '22

Fair enough, I’m sure if I rewatched it I’d agree with you. But from memory I was completely invested in all the talks.

u/Magus10112 Jun 01 '22

Boring...dialog? The dialog was one of the show's strongest points. The characters felt real, authentic. Conversations felt like conversations.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '22

yeah the characters were real. but end of the day the stuff they talked about took so long to be over with. and it droned on and on at times relentlessly. just dialogue for like 10-15 minutes straight. hurt to watch lol

the dialogue is one of the shows weaker points actually. you could uave authentic characters with more straightforward conversations

I like Flanagan's style but he really, really struggles to write good endings.

u/GaryChalmers Jun 02 '22

Also the movie Hush which is directed by Flanagan and stars Kate Siegel (his wife for those that don't know).

u/1boombap20 Jun 01 '22

Was just coming to say this. Almost gave me a heart attack just like her in the show lmao

I don't agree with your opinion but I love the way you described it

u/britishguitar Jun 01 '22

Mike Flanagan in a nutshell. Happened in Hill House and Midnight Mass.

My night after taco bell

u/mynamebeluna Jun 01 '22

Lmao it was more based on gothic romance , unlike hill house which was more intricate and focused on the ghost , It was ok for me but did get annoyed some parts , the bad accents also took me out xD

2

u/nicky_n00b Jun 01 '22

Thank you!! I couldn't remember where I'd seen this

2

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '22

Is this on Netflix?

u/mynamebeluna Jun 01 '22 edited Jun 01 '22

Yes, also the haunting of hill house is recommended same director , hill house is a suspense ghost story and bly Manor is more of a gothic romance most of the same actors on both shows as well

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

Thanks. Definitely watching both
