Reviews for The Haunting of Bly Manor

damn just let us sapphics be happy come on

Mike Flanagan knows how to emotionally scar you. This is a great modern adaptation of “The turn of the screw” by Henry James. Why? Because Mike Flanagan knows how to make stories his own without losing the essence of the source material. Yet again, we are haunted by ghosts, but are those ghosts re

i was a gay au-pair in london for 2 years and never found my hot gardener 😔 false advertising

Personally I would've said Fuck Them Kids.

Perfectly unsplendid. I would sleep, I would wake, I would walk, but I would #NeverForget. I would never forget, forget, and forget. I would sleep, I would wake, I would walk, but I would never forget how they wasted nine hours of my short weekend for non-existent scares, uninteresting character

"Take me with you," she cried in her heart. "Take me. Drag me down like you did the others." But the lady in the lake was different now. The lady in the lake was also Dani. And Dani wouldn't. Dani would never. In fact, no one would ever be taken again. And no one has been taken to this day.

7.0 Not exactly as weak as I thought it was gonna be but still a solid little story, started to lose me a bit in the middle but the ending half made up for it. Flanagan Ranked 1. The Haunting of Hill House (9.0) 2. The Fall of the House of Usher (8.0-8.5) 3. Midnight Mass (8.0-8.5) 4. The Haunting

"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 stor

I sleep, I wake, I walk, I CRY.

few things make me cry harder than this finale. it’s very serious

flanagan's usual emotionally cogent sense of non-linear horror writing and the where's waldo ghost scares and sense of mood from Hill House are all present, the craft is perfectly fine, but it's very unfortunate that the only idea they seemed to have for this material was to strip The Innocents of a

doomed from the narrative lesbians

It goes with "wtf??" as the episodes progressed then switched up drastically with heartbreaking tragedies for the last couple of episodes. Victoria Pedretti the horror queen that you are!

crying my eyes out 2.0

brb suing mike flanagan for emotional distress and irreversible brain damage

mike flanagan you will pay for what you have done to me

"when we die, we turn into stories. and every time someone tells one of those stories, it's like we're still here, for them."

I didn't find it as terrifying as the previous one, and I also feel like the story was too boring, although I liked the whole atmosphere of mystery surrounding the mansion so … The Haunting of Hill House >>>>>> . but as Flora said, this is not a ghost story, it's a love story

A very high four stars. It’d probably just get pushed up to four and a half with a rewatch in future, but much like with Hill House, the impact of certain scenes in the last two episodes aren’t fully felt because of how jarringly they switch up the pacing. I adored it still, though, and Episode Five

it was perfectly splendid!

It should be called the HAUNTING of hill house, because it was more of a love story than a scary show! it was very boring at times, and definitely not as good as hill house, HOWEVER, the ending to the show is great, i LOVE the way it ended, and honestly that changes my whole view on the show… now th
