Mike Flanagan messed up Midnight Mass. His vision strayed far away from the source material. If he would have followed the Book which it based off more closely it would have been Great. After listening to Midnight Mass on Audible I quickly realized how much Flanagan messed up a great story. I am worried he will do the same to Kings The Gunfighter series.

There is a particular scene in Hill House that might be the scariest jump scare in television/movie history.

Doctor Sleep, probably the best movie he's made.


I don’t think Flanagan gets enough credit for how well he blended King’s and Kubrick’s Shinings for the end of Doctor Sleep. It’s masterful.

What did he change from the source material? I didn't know it was a book, now I've got to buy it

His miniseries wasn't based on the Midnight Mass book by F. Paul Wilson. There's some genre similarities but it's not based on it.

There are two IMO. The car one between the two sisters and Nell in the very first episode with Steve

We started Carrie but I couldn't get into it. That said, I didn't love the original that much either.
