and i don't hate flanagan's hill house when i view it as a completely separate entity unrelated to the book, but putting it next to the book it feels like the real horror is how badly a man can misinterpret Horror About Womanhood. anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk

it bugs me especially with hill house because that's a book about 1. the expectations put on women of being a caretaker for a family that hates them before being their own person 2. being a lonely 30-something year old who's never had her own life and importantly 3. deeply repressed lesbianism

genuinely i don't understand why flanagan is so committed to making horror content when he seems to fundamentally hate the genre. he's allergic to making anything end on a note that's not as saccharine as possible. happy endings for everyone with their nuclear families. only pulled punches here

seeing things about his carrie adaptation (and thinking about his hill house as i reread) and becoming more and more convinced that he's some kind of rightwing psyop. surely no one could write all this stuff and think it's actually a good adaptation that understands the original texts right. right,

stop letting mike flanagan adapt stories about women please for the love of god
