@@MichelleseaChelle . I reject spoilers as well, however It's called Midnight Mass. They seem to be intelligent men I'm sure they can gather that there will be some religious element in the series 😊
Kate Siegel, I’d watch her read the dictionary- and be in awe. Mike Flanagan did an amazing job casting her as Theo in hill house and choosing a life partner.
Two things: -Mike Flanagan recently signed to reboot The Exorcist franchise. - You should react to The Shining, directed by Stanley Kubrick staring Jack Nicholson and the sequel Doctor Sleep directed by Mike Flanagan and staring Ewan McGregor, both based on books by Stephen King.
Doctor Sleep is so good. Flanagan managed to make it both a sequel to the book and movie since there were a lot of differences between the original Shining movie and book. He's an absolute genius.
That shushing scene, I definitely was like Blake in that moment until Flora shushed, so literally went to a "WHAT?!? You can shush at something supernatural and it'll calm down?!?" So glad you already recognized Luke btw, hearing him using his real accent (he's actually British) is amazing.
He's from London & uses a Scottish accent in Bly Manor, it's not the same at all. That's like saying someone from Texas is using their real New York accent.
Lots of theories being thrown around this episode lol Not saying any of them are wrong or right, just that I found it entertaining this early in the season 😂
Loved reading 'The turn of the screw' afterwards. Some scenes - like Dani spotting the man on the balcony or seeing him outside the window - is exactly like the book.
Who edited this? Showing Blake's jump scare in slow motion *3 times* feels like payback 😂 it's so good revisiting this show with you guys, I can't wait to get to the episodes that answer all your questions!
My take on the first two HAUNTING series: Hill House was scarier... Bly Manor -- though not as well balanced -- is the more interesting series. When I heard that Flanagan was going to use The Turn of the Screw for his jumping off point for season two, I was so excited. James' novella is the only time I had that classic tv/movie moment of reading a book and having the phone ring, startling me so that I throw the book up in the air. It's interesting that Flanagan chose Hill House and Turn of the Screw as his first two stories. Both have excellent film versions made only two years apart: THE INNOCENTS (1961, based on Turn of the Screw) and THE HAUNTING (1963, based on Hill House).
when your channel becomes old time tv before streaming. me, knowing that i have to go on youtube every Wednesday to se my show. thank you for your content. I enjoy all your theories, and angles i had not thought of my self when i saw the show. AND thank you Blake, for being scared and brave at the same time. and for being a mirror of my self when i sit and watch horror movies with a pillow to put in front of my eyes.
I love how Danny's actress portays panic/anxiety attacks. The # of times Ive reacted like that when Im caught by someone and try to pull it back in the way she does. 😭 Very accurate, I think.
I don't know how much you guys know about Mike Flanagan and his projects so I'm just going to throw some stuff out there and see if it hits. Mike Flanagan Ari uses a lot of the talent that He has in his projects which is awesome . Let's go back to 2016 there's a movie called "Hush" starring Mike's wife Kate Siegal (She's in almost all his projects - She was Theo in HoHH) as a deaf author. There are only three people in the entire movie. The book that she wrote that became a big hit was called Midnight Mass . In the beginning of that movie her character calls a neighbor and The Neighbor comes walking across the yard with a copy of a book in her hand . The actress walking across the yard is the same actress that plays Steves wife in The Haunting of Hill House. She lays the book down on the table and the book is titled Midnight Mass. Cut to the movie Gerald's Game starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood . On the nightstand next to the bed is the book Midnight Mass. Cut to the show Midnight Mass(great show) full circle. Now. The Haunting of Bly Manor is not exactly one story from one book each episode is one story from one book written by Henry James. Also you should watch Fall of the House of Usher which also Stars Katey Seigal, Carla Gugino Bruce Greenwood,etc... Also each episode is named after 1 of Edgar Allen Poe's stories. That's also a great show! Btw... Blake... Your Xanax order is ready to be picked up. Make sure you take 1/2 hour before shooting. 😂
This was a good one. You guys are cooking when it comes to Miles. When you kept playing Blake's reaction to that jump scare I yelled out, "Leave Blake alone!!! 😂😂😂😂" Kudos, guys. 🤘
Great reaction, as per usual guys! That jump from Blake made me night 😂 I'm loving the theories too. This show is so good. This was definitely the episode that ramped things up way more than the first one. Glad to see you're enjoying it 😊 Oh! I dont want to forget to shout out the kid playing Miles. Hes brilliant. I dont know how he pulls off the nuances he does, it'd be difficult for much older actors to pull off. As you guys pointed out, hes practically a different person every other scene. And its believable. Cant stop raving about that kid. Should probably look his name back up though so i can stop calling him the kid 😂
I used to think you might've seen this series or the first one, but now after seeing the comments it's more clear that you're just getting spoiled. You guys realy should try get some moderators for the comments or just avoid reading, it until the show is done.
just a heads up, there are a couple pretty big spoilers in the comments, so tread with caution. the biggest one in my opinion is a reply to a comment, so you might wanna avoid reading replies to comments. anyway, love the reaction as always! and i’m always looking forward to wednesdays!
Guys remember what flora said about the lady in the lake she have no name and she can't be remembered. this series is slow poison it will get deep deeper and darker every episode.. small small scenes with more impacts and the dialogues and bgm is top notch kudos to the child actors..
@@sandpiperr what exactly did they spoil? they didn’t say anything that has to do with the plot. they told them to recall a scene that they’ve already watched then described the tone of the show. there are def people in the comments spoiling things, but this comment isn’t one of them. :)
Just to let you guys know, from now on, the episodes are not directed by Mike Flanagan unlike Hill House which was all directed by him. So some episodes will be crazier than the rest direction-wise.
I'm excited for you guys to piece the puzzles together as you watch more episodes, it'll all come clear! This show is such a perfect slowburn I thought about the ending for days. 🤌🏻
If according to your theory Flora is dead, how is she supposed to write a letter to Miles? And does she then go to the post office with it afterwards or what?
Please don't perform CPR on someone who has only lost consciousness! You'll kill them! 😂 CPR is only meant to be performed on someone whose heart has stopped beating 💓
I feel like Hill House ruined ya'll. Please stop looking for the hidden ghosts and focus on the dialogue. You're missing a lot of things or talking over it because you're waiting for something creepy to happen. The dialogue is very important. I feel like you're not seeing the characters.
Here’s the only other thing I have to say about this show. It is very different than Hill House in EVERY way. This author wrote very differently, and it is based on MANY of his works. Nothing is going to make sense- until they want it to make sense on the screen. I have watched this series quite a few times with different friends, and with a couple reactors. I have never seen one understand what the kids are talking about, where the objects are coming from, and what is truly happening until some key moments occur. This series, again, is not like Hill House. Yes, every line is important and extremely impressive but not as impactful on the overall story. Enjoy the last few episodes.
Flora's letter has 3 figures... 1 is flora, the previous nanny and luke....come home is kinda like "they have come, I'm scared alone, come home".... I think durning the injuries in his school, miles is trying to see if those will spirit leave his body if his body is not healty like before.
If you like The Boys, you should the First Season Of HAPPY* from the SyFy Ch. I believe it was the test model for The Boys and high production "gore comedy:
The letter said 'come home' because that's exactly what Flora wanted Miles to do and why Miles kept trying to find ways (the key) to get expelled so he'll be sent home to be with her.
