I really liked the scene when Danny is about to die in the fire, and the ghost of her mom appears to be with him in his final moments. In a previous scene Danny mentioned how when his mother was close to dying her face got so covered in flies that he couldn't bring himself to look at her to comfort her. But in the end, he can finally see her face, and she comforts him.

[@Ami-ut2us]

beautiful catch

[@lukasprogamin6044]

Also I think it's also mentioned how Wendy could never look Danny in the eyes because she saw Jack in his face. So Wendy could never look Danny in the eyes as he was growing up and Danny could never look Wendy in the eyes as she grew old and died. So when Danny is dying and they're looking at each other, they can finally look each other in the eyes

[@cogitae]

It also shows how a mother's love is unconditional and everlasting, because unconditional love through horror and trauma is something that King himself always tries to put in his books.

You know, seeing adults being killed in movies is so common, but seeing a child dying, who's parents are most likely going to never recover from that and say its their fault forever, is very sad, and just makes people want to crank the guts out of the people who did this with a meat ginder. Amazing job from Jacob.

Not just kids dying. If it was a slasher and someone just decapitated a kid in a horror movie, it'd be fine with me. It's how long and drawn out it I'd. The kid begging for his life as he's violently drained of life. That's what's disturbing

I was tearing up as well! It’s a beautiful moment where Danny gets to say goodbye to his mom in a way they both deserve. It’s especially nice because Danny was just seeing evil entities so it’s nice he also got someone special to him. This scene resonates because. Like King said, “there is no true horror with out also having hope.”

[@sirdonutiii]

[@kd8663]

Mike Flanagan deserves praise for many things, but one thing he needs more credit for is how well he directs kids. It's no coincidence all the children in his movies give good performances, though plenty of credit goes to them too. Communicating complex, emotional, and often frightening concepts to children is a special talent that not a lot of directors have, regardless of how talented they are in other areas. The fact that he's the common denominator between these good performances point to this special ability.

[@UndyingHeart469]

Very true

[@SkylerDeWitt]

Insanely enough, he didn't even direct Jacob Tremblay. Jacob showed up, Flanagan asked him if he wanted to run through it, but Jacob had been rehearsing at home and said no he just wanted to do it. Everything about Jacob's scene was entirely his own creation, and Flanagan had very little to do with it other than asking Jacob if he wanted to be in the film.

[@ashrose4979]

@@SkylerDeWitt Thats awesome! I still wanna point out how many directors would trust a kid like that? Flanagan has a way with directing kids and part of that is trusting them and giving them space to play, not micromanaging their performances. Jacob needs to continue in acting for sure

[@newttonium]

@@SkylerDeWitt that’s sick

[@SkylerDeWitt]

@@ashrose4979 I agree. Tremblay was a hot commodity at the time. Directors wanted him because he was a great actor. Flanagan reached out on a whim, Tremblay said yes because The Shining was his favorite movie, and Tremblay said, "I know what I'm going to do, it's going to be really scary!" Flanagan was like "Yeah, okay." Then Tremblay showed up to a job that he was overqualified for, traumatized everyone, then left waving and saying, "Thanks guys, that was fun!!" I really think 99% of the credit belongs to Tremblay.

Abra's RWBY-inspired mind trap goes further than just her Emerald wig, since additional set dressing includes props and wall decorations that are the colours red, white, black and yellow, the base palette and namesakes for the four lead characters of that show.

I like how they specifically chose Emerald from RWBY for Abra to be a fan of. Not only is Abra's actor Kyleigh Curran a fan of RWBY in general, but they look alike (both young black females), and Emerald's specific power is the ability to generate illusions in other people's minds just like Abra can. Plus they both fight people with the name "Rose".
