"There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it."
- Alfred Hitchcock
Mike Flanagan flawlessly uses the blend of gothic horror and psychological horror in his shows.
His shows have thematic depth with perfectly established characters.
The Haunting of Bly Manor is a tragic love story.
(It's a ghost story)
"All things fade. All things. Flesh, stone, even stars themselves. Time takes all things. It is the way of the world. The past recedes, memories fade, and so, true, does the spirit.
Everything yields to time, even the soul."
