imagine you get released from the psych ward and the first thing your sister says is that she wants to revisit your childhood trauma
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
i would’ve just bought myself a nice new ikea mirror rip to them but i’m different
i’d go crazy too if i had that ugly thing hanging in my house
just close your eyes bro lmaoooo
A lot of the individual beats here are sort of generic on their own (scary ghost lady especially) but the tricky structure and the story's internal logic recode them into something really precarious and fun.
*cocks gun* mirror's haunted
I want to say that this movie was a pleasant surprise, but it wasn't... not because it was bad, but because I was expecting something great, and that's exactly what I got. If you're familiar with director Mike Flanagan, it's probably because you were lucky enough to stumble across his 2011 film Absentia, which is in my opinion one of the finest low-budget horror films to come out in the last ten years or so (check it out on Netflix if you've yet to see it; there are some flaws in the performances, but every other aspect of the film is astounding). As soon as I finished watching Absentia - this was about a year ago - I looked up…
You know you are watching a horror film or miniseries directed and written by Mike Flanagan if it has:

- Those characters have issues with their parents.
- And most importantly features Kate Siegel.

i would be able to tell the difference between reality and hallucination basically without even trying
“Mike Flanagan is not a one-trick pony!” – Mike Flanagan, professional one-trick pony.
A narratively creative story of familial dread and past trauma told through looming atmosphere, drawn-out dialogue, and snippets of parallel timelines where an unexplained supernaturally-endowed object may or may not be the cause of everyone’s problems—no, it’s not The Haunting of Hill House or Doctor Sleep or The Haunting of Bly Manor or [insert somber Flanagan dread piece], because THIS time there’s a giant ugly mirror involved. Duh.
He might only have one schtick, but idk, that schtick just continues to work for me, man. The writing is strong and flows naturally, the acting is on point (especially for all three redheads, Gillan, Sackhoff, and Basso),…
