Oh man, I *hated* Haunting of Hill House, couldn't make it through Midnight Mass either, at this point I just feel disappointed when I hear about a concept I'm interested in and see that Flanagan is attached because I Do Not Vibe.

Crimson Peak though... Crimson Peak is amazing, I think people just went in wanting it to be a different movie than it was! Everyone is trying to review it as straight horror when it's a gothic romance.

As a person who dislikes Crimson Peak, you are right. I think it was marketed as a gothic horror at least as I remember it but the movie was straight romance. And the thing is, I hate romance, ESPECIALLY gothic. So it was a huge bummer

Yeah, after Hill House I decided to pass on Midnight Mass, which was probably for the best. If you haven't tried Oculus you could always give it a shot, though. IMO Haunting Of Hill House was basically Oculus 2: Electric Boogaloo. They're distinctly different stories but the thematic and conceptual core is very similar. But Oculus is much shorter, tighter, and less muddled, IMO.

I think people just went in wanting it to be a different movie than it was!

Yeah, that seems to be the case.

IMO it was a gothic psychological thriller wrapped in a romance wrapper and then nestled in a horror gift-box. Lol. And personally I feel like it blends those genres extremely well. I love how much it genuinely feels like it could be a gothic novel from that time period--while still maintaining an unobtrusive undercurrent of post-modern knowingness.
