Can I just appreciate the fact that while Mike Flanagan has the actors he loves working with and frequently appear in his shows/films he always adds new actors to his cast with each show?

Bonus because none of the actors in his cast are like mega-famous (i mean Julia Roberts or RDJ level) although they're super talented! I think more directors need to follow this example and work with new, talented actors rather than exhausting the entire budget just to hire an A-lister and then doom the rest of the production. I know that certain filmmakers think that hiring someone who is already very famous will bring in more of an audience but there are so many talented and wonderful actors around who are literally just waiting for their breakthrough in the industry and it's such a waste that some filmmakers decide to give even more spotlight and money to actors who are already millionaires and have absolutely no issue booking jobs.

Btw I'm not saying hire lesser known actors out of pity, I'm saying that talent doesnt always mean fame, and there are plenty of talented actors who aren't going to cost the entire budget of a production which means more money to spend on crew, costumes and set design.

I really liked how the One Piece live action did that too, none of the actors were very famous A-listers (correct me if I'm wrong though), and most of them had their first major role in the show. They were all super great and I doubt they will have trouble booking jobs in the future!

So The Fall of the House of Usher, I love horror, but it has given me a really good dose of existential medical horror.

I have a implanted medical device and now I am thinking like what had to happen to have this implanted medical device.

For heck to be around how much lives were sacrificed?

And what truly is in my body?

Medical disability via rich people and the privilege I have horror realized

I think Mike Flanagan’s superpower is he will create a collection of the most deplorable characters who create suffering and pain with only one or two that are even slightly loveable and he’ll distract you with catharsis while he kills off those horrible awful characters so that you feel safe in your glee and hatred.

Then he kills an “innocent”.

And you’re reminded that you’re no better than the people you were just watching die with barely contained excitement.
