Mike Flanagan's latest series, TheMidnightClub, may just be his most emotional outing to date. Our review:
Mike Flanagan has cemented himself as quite possibly one of the best horror auteurs working today. His original horror films like Oculus and Hush rose above just stereotypical jump-scares, and his adaptation of Gerald's Game took a Stephen King book that many claimed was unfilmable and made one of the scariest horror films of the 21st century.
Flanagan and co-showrunner Leah Fong prove to be the perfect voices for this kind of series. While the supernatural forces are a threat throughout The Midnight Club, it's the illnesses that each teen suffers and the baggage they each carry that not only pose the greatest sense of danger but also keep the audience invested. In a time when many YA properties are romanticizing real-life illness, The Midnight Club forgoes that.
The entire cast of The Midnight Club turns in impressive work, but it is Ruth Codd's devastating turn as Anya that leaves the biggest impression. When we first meet Anya, Codd portrays her as closed off and snarky, a teen girl with the mouth of a sailor, of course, there's more to her than meets the eye. As the series progresses we begin to learn more about Anya and truly understand her, and Codd pulls it off beautifully.
