WOW, sorry for the late reply, I’m still having trouble navigating the site (not because of the site itself but because of my general idiocy)! | The Secret of Crickley Hall Review: And why are we still so in love with being scared? |
I’ve never seen The Orphanage (would you recommend?) but I totally agree with The Others- the atmospheres are majorly similar. | The Secret of Crickley Hall Review: And why are we still so in love with being scared? |
I think cliches pretty much exist as a rule in most of them! But I agree, I am enjoying Crickley hall (looking forward to tonight’s episode haha)- and thanks! Means a lot. | The Secret of Crickley Hall Review: And why are we still so in love with being scared? |
Great article! The power of fandom, like most things in the universe, can have profoundly positive and negative effect. I engage in fandom largely online and even that is frustrating- in the ever-connected world of online media, it’s near impossible to avoid spoilers (if I’m really bothered I just don’t go online for a few days). I love Lauren Brooks’ comment about films becoming a bit more fan-servicey; when art is not being created for arts sake, but for profit (something I think Khalid was getting at) it is an unfortunate inevitability that the creators will pander to the consumers.
