Before watching these eight episodes, some might have wondered how Mike Flanagan could approach yet another adaptation of King’s 1974 novel. Anyone familiar with Flanagan’s horror movies, like Oculus, and his five Netflix series, including the standout The Haunting of Hill House, knows his singular ability to tell stories that are as alarming as they are thought-provoking.
