Mike Flanagan's Recommended Gateway Horror for Beginners

Every so often, someone says to me "I really, really don't like horror movies" and I bite the inside of my cheek and smile at them. Sometimes they continue with "what horror movies would you recommend as a gentle way in", or "can you recommend any horror movies for beginners that are more like...

I knew Hamill would be playing the grandfather, but I think I had assumed Heather Langenkamp would be the grandmother.

As I expected Flanagan + King = Pure Gold! Super excited to see this!!!

Impressive cast in this thing.

Also, never really thought about it before but I think Hiddleston would crush Flagg/Marten/Walter. He could MAYBE play Roland too but he seems a little too polished for that. I like the suggestion of Rahul Kohli for that role though.

It’ll be nice having an award worthy Stephen King movie again.

Flanagan might be 3 for 3 up there with Frank Darabont with these King adaptations.

Any news of when a trailer might drop?

Well it won’t have trouble finding a distributor now. Though I hope they go for the one offering a wide theatrical release and not necessarily just the streamer that pays the most. Flanagan has stuck mostly to streaming and this could be a huge crowd pleaser.
