TV/Movies Megathread

So my final word on Bly Manor, having just finished it.

Meh. 4 out of 10. Lacked the tightness of Hill House. There were no scares in this one, and just too slow to be creepy scary. Too much dialogue. Too much exposition. One episode before the last is a complete backstory with all new characters. It just wasn't suspenseful enough for me.

If you liked the crux of the story, the bit set from Henry James' Turn of the Screw, I highly recommend The Innocents from 1961( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055018/). A young governess for two children becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted

Gonna try that Russian Lake thing next.

Odd, I found this one more creepy than Hill House. In fact, I never even finished Hill House as I found it very dull.

I just spotted on Netflix a new show called La Revolution - "In a reimagined history, a mysterious disease besets 18th century France, culminating in a brutal clash between rebels and the aristocracy." Which may be of interest.

Of course I just want a multi-series dramatisation of the revolution and, no doubt, even in this "reimagined" history they will find a way to slander Robespierre

*braces for another disappointment*

Jason Momoa was a great fit for Conan, too bad the movie really sucked after the first half hour or so.

Just an FYI, but this show seems to have vampires.

Are the Bourbons vampires? Artois kind of looked like one.

Good. Good.

From the plot outline I was afraid it would be zombies. I was already bored of zombies five years ago.

[Eddie Teach]

They could be zombielike vampires. It's been done.

Then it's not very revolutionary.
