(Anonymous) 2023-07-01 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)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.

(Anonymous) 2023-07-01 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)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.

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.
