They need to take a page from Vince Gilligan and/or the Lost guys. Suspense and less is more seems to be the way to go when telling a story. I think they were afraid they'd lose the F/X audience. The opening scene had promise but went down from there.Yep. Too much, too soon.The pilot introduced too many characters. They should have spread that out over the next few episodes. I thought it was OK but I don't know how long a haunted house series can last. The "WHY DON'T YOU JUST MOVE OUT?" question is going to weigh heavily soon.I liked it
Nothing else even close to watch that night/time slot. Maybe you guys missed the young maid scenes? Maybe it tries too hard sometimes to scare you, but that's fine. Lots of back story going on.
" moments.
Not gonna watch until it's about 4-5 episodes in.
I think some of us were expecting (or at least hoping for) a good show about a haunted house. Hopefully, it will get a lot better.
I'm going to give the show a few more episodes. Even though it's only been one episode I think it's as good or better than The Walking Dead.
What do I know? I don't watch much tv. I thought it was interesting enough. The only other recent series I've been able to get into is Mad Men.
Neighbor and daughter are spirits in the house, just like gimp, maid and basement demon.
Is this confirmed?
So I guess they died maybe circa 1988 then judging by the daughter? How can you be sure they are spirits as well? (outside of the daughter appearing too young...that may just be because its hard to find 50ish year old people with down's)ETA: if the gimp is a spirit in the house, how was he talking/visible to the Dad far away from the house, and seemingly trying to help him (although the wry smile at the end of that scene had me 2nd guessing his motive).
gimp is the latex suit dude not the burn victim
and why is his name gimp then, instead of latex suit guy? are we to assume latex suit guy is 1 of the last owners before this family bout the house?
http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsH/52702-15365.gifthat's the gimp from pulp fiction, hence the sharing of the name
This is really disappointing
I don't think it's been confirmed. Just a strong suspicion. It doesn't appear to me that the down daughter aged at all, and she should be at least 40 years old. And neighbor mom talked about killing the maid, and can slip in and out of the house in the middle of the night.The character I'm not sure about is the kid in therapy. I recall seeing him at school, but I think those may just have been dream sequences.
I took it as the kid thinking that sounded cool and spooky. She clearly has issues as well, so cant say Im surprised.
The daughter definitely looks older than the opening scene, but still too young to have aged 33 years. I dont recall neighbor mom being in the house in the middle of the night. She was there for that late scene when she said she killed the maid, but that appeared to be the morning/afternoon.I dont remember seeing the kid in therapy at school (except for the part where he talked about his dream and killing people and had all of the face makeup/tats). There preview for the rest of the season insinuated he's also a spirit as well to me.
I think you mean Jessica Lange, and yes.Jessica Tandy is likely either getting chauffeured on the long drive in heaven or pushing 100
She was in the kitchen with the dad when he was zoned out in front of the burning stove and the wife was getting it on with the gimp. May not have been the middle of the night, but it was late night.'Kenny Powers said:
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. Haven't watched episode two yet.
yep...watched the pilot last night and have the 2nd set on the DVRnot bad...will watch a couple more to see where it goes'pollardsvision said:
Ahh, yes.
Its possible, although I have a feeling they stick with the ghosts already identified and old ones that are identified (ie the nurses). It will be interesting if they do eventually get found, and if not, Id at least like to know what they did with the bodies. I liked how they linked the girls dreams to her impending death via the house.
I think it was genuinely to get to the daughter since she's the fearless one. Don't think it had anything to do with the intruder initially, but worked in the story line that way.Since the family hasn't been to the neighbor's house we don't know the level of "reality" that the others exist in. It will take a third party outside the ghosts and family to figure that out. The realtor knew something and will be in the next episode because they want to sell.
Are you for real?
Agreed on the cupcakes being for the daughter. I thought that was pretty obvious based on the conversation when she brought them over.As I said earlier, theyre definitely blurring the lines with the neighbors. I think they will continue to make them appear like living people next door until late in the season and end up being ghosts.'Battles said:
Its an awesome movie, but I didnt realize it was common knowledge to know the name of a character who has 10 minutes of scene time in Pulp Fiction. Do people here watch that movie every couple months or something? Judging by the FFA's apparent obsession with Pink Floyd in the 70's albums threads, Im assuming people here also must think Pulp Fiction is the best movie of the 90's or something.Hell, its not even Tarantino's best movie. That would be Jackie Brown.
shtick taken, guy
