neutral · AI labelView post →How did I miss seeing this film before tonight? Stephen King's novella adapted and directed by Mike Flanagan who did all kinds of great stuff, like Gerald's Game, The Haunting of Hill House mini series, The Fall of the House of Usher mini series.. ...BEST movie I've seen this year.
positive · AI labelView post →To be honest I think Mike Flanagan has made some real turds but his adaptation of Gerald's Game is genuinely very good and on the short list of the best and most faithful King adaptations ever put to film
positive · AI labelView post →Watching the movie adaptation of "Gerald's Game" and thinking about how the book was (to me) a masterclass in reducing horror to its most basic components. Alone, far from help in the wild, unprotected, and unable to move. The flashback scenes are good but aren't strictly necessary.
neutral · AI labelView post →I know it's clickbait so whatever but everything about this confounds me: 1) "Comes clean"? 2) I like the movie I'm sure it found an audience, but does GERALD'S GAME have any "famous" scenes? 3) Why is any of this the concern of something called "Investing Magazine"?
positive · AI labelView post →15 horror books that messed me up (in the best way) - winteriscoming.net. Horror books, by definition, are meant to keep you up a bit longer at night, wondering if the shadow outside your window is really the tree that has stood there forever or some newfound apparition. That’s all fair and square. However, some horror books burrow deep into your brain, and yet you remain grateful for every troubling revelation. These are the horror novels that hit me in that perfect sweet spot where fear meets…
neutral · AI labelView post →DAY 23 a movie with your favorite actress Gerald's Game I am obsessed with Carla Gugino. I find her to be so sincere in her acting and so unbelievably beautiful. She was for sure one of the people who sparked my pansexual awakening growing up. She was incredible in this movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →It was GERALD'S GAME. That's when I said "if Mike Flanagan can make *that* movie out of *that* book then let him adapt every single King novel and story he wants to, forever" and my stance has only hardened and solidified since that day
positive · AI labelView post →I've never felt such horror movie whiplash as I did watching Gerald's Game
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Doctor Sleep last night which was about 4/5s of a very good movie. The last Mike Flanagan movie I watched was Gerald's Game, which I thought was about 7/8s of a very good movie. He's so close.
positive · AI labelView post →I always call him "Moonlight man" from the movie Gerald's Game.🤣
neutral · AI labelView post →#GeraldsGame (2017) RATED 18+ Ummmmmmm... I'm very uncomfortable about this film up until the end which concluded my satisfaction about how fricking good the emotion, the trauma, the pain, the memories... It won't matter What matter is now. Phenomenal film 9/10
positive · AI labelView post →Gerald's Game is the one movie that's still so fucking important to me.
positive · AI labelView post →Mike Flanagan is a straight up freak for putting Gerald's Game on film I love that for him and for me

neutral · AI labelView post →it's movie night later today and I got to pick so I am making my friend watch Gerald's Game hehehehehehe
neutral · AI labelView post →i finally watched GERALD'S GAME and while it was just okay, it does feature what feels like the most medically accurate degloving scene I've never wanted to see in a movie
neutral · AI labelView post →What's a movie you've watched that scared/disturbed you so badly that you haven't rewatched? For me it's a 3-way tie: GERALD'S GAME, BRING HER BACK, and GREEN ROOM. Absolutely amazing movies, but no. No no no, for a variety of reasons my body and spirit aren't ready. 😅 #filmsky #horror #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →#100HorrorMoviesin92Days Day 16, Movie 35 My ★★★★★ review of Gerald's Game on Letterboxd boxd.it/aKX0Ox
positive · AI labelView post →Gerald's Game (2017) Unfortunately I was watching this while sick atm so I was going in and out of sleep, but this film was pretty damn good. The mystery behind the Moonlight Man was cool, and seeing Jessie overcome her situation and past traumas was powerful.
positive · AI labelView post →Hill House is my favorite horror movie/TV show/whatever.. EVER. Midnight Mass and House of Usher are both very close. I haven't watched Dr. Sleep or Gerald's Game yet though. I think the only series I haven't seen except Bly Manor is the Midnight Club so I need to watch that one.
neutral · AI labelView post →watched Gerald's Game last night. For a few minutes it seemed like it wasn't going to be very Stephen King, and then it became more and more Stephen King every minute for the rest of the film. By the end of the film it is almost Too Stephen King
neutral · AI labelView post →I didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did, even though Midnight Mass and Gerald's Game had already turned me into a Flanagan fan and NO, I will NOT portmanteau that. I have some pride, goddamnit. Mr. Phipps nails why DS is not a full success, though.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ranking GERALD'S GAME, a movie I really really like, probably my favorite Netflix Original horror. Easy win against Rescue Dawn here.
positive · AI labelView post →I love Gerald's Game. It's such a fantastic movie and it unexpectedly delivered something so powerful.
positive · AI labelView post →Gerald's Game made me fear degloving. I couldn't finish the book and have no interest in going back to it or watching the TV show. I also wear my wedding ring much less now
neutral · AI labelView post →Newer stuff I've liked not seen listed yet... Gerald's Game Barbarian Babysitter and it's sequel are great for a scare and laugh Black Phone Babadook Older... Poltergeist Alien Sunshine Event Horizon The Mist
neutral · AI labelView post →I couldn't finish reading Gerald's Game, but Flanagan's movie version, I finished and actually liked.
positive · AI labelView post →Flanagan's King adaptations can suffer from being too devoted to the text, yeah. Gerald's Game felt like a TV movie, oddly tame and not particularly scary. But he makes the prequel to a movie based on a board game and it's the scariest thing I've ever seen.
negative · AI labelView post →Have you read "Cell?" :-) Also, not judgemental but curious, did you see the "Gerald's Game" movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →you can leave GERALD'S GAME THE MOVIE off yr boss-baby list, it's very poor (horrible things happen to ppl you dislike, the heroine makes annoyingly silly decisions, the BIG BAD is in every way unearned)
negative · AI labelView post →I have never regretted reading a book more than Gerald's Game. That book squicked the fuck outta me in the absolute worst ways. I *have* always been curious how the movie adaptation worked tho... but not enough to watch it
neutral · AI labelView post →this director also worked w Megan Fox on a much better film that was inspired by the Stephen King book/story Gerald's Game
neutral · AI labelView post →Yessss SK Halloween movie marathon! I also wanna rewatch Gerald's Game
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Gerald's Game again last night. I honestly never thought that book could be made into a film let alone a great one especially as it's very faithful to the book. Might be time for a re-read.
positive · AI labelView post →I haven't read the Dark Towers either, only the first 2 😅 I'm all over the place with his books. My favorite is Misery but I love a ton of his stuff—Gerald's Game, The Long Walk (so excited for the film!), Doctor Sleep...
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm really stoked for this episode of This Is Why You Died! We review the brilliant "Gerald's Game" by genre wizard @mikeflanaganfilm.com from a book by the legend @stephenking.bsky.social ...Dan drew the prompt "Locked" so this was a genius pick for us to watch! Check it out!! (On all podcast apps)
neutral · AI labelView post →Gerald's Game at 11 yrs. I actually didn't remember it much, but when they made the movie, I realized that I was way too young when I read it 😅
neutral · AI labelView post →~ i think the first Stephen King book I read was Gerald's Game, circa 30 years ago, in part bc it was among the few that had never been made into a film (at the time) I've honestly not read many King books BC they've all been made into films & I've seen the films so it seemed moot.
neutral · AI labelView post →4 - Gerald's Game I always respect a movie premise that's (at least mostly) all in one room and commits to that. Not my favorite King movie adaptation, but still a mostly solid one.
neutral · AI labelView post →Get To Know Me: Horror Movies 💀 Fav: • movie: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) • franchise: Chucky • killer: Mrs. Voorhees •creature: Cave Monsters from The Descent • ending: Gerald's Game • theme song: Rosemary's Baby • director: Tobe Hooper
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Gerald's Game which I was very nervous about as someone with CPTSD, given it's a film about trauma. Thought it might be the worst idea ever but actually it's been a good reminder of how strong trauma can make you. All the different parts of her working together. ❤️
positive · AI labelView post →Given the situation of the main character in Gerald's Game, to even make a movie of it was audacious. Flanagan pulled it off, and then some.
positive · AI labelView post →Same, and you can tell the cast really enjoys working with him. He knows how to cast. Also you might want to check out the film Gerald's Game. Came out before even Hill House and he's got a few fave actors already. Not as good as his other stuff but worth a watch
neutral · AI labelView post →Horror Movie a Day Day 1 Gerald's Game While handcuffed to the bed during sex, Jessie's husband suffers a heart attack. This is an intense psychological horror based on a Stephen King story, which contains one of the gnarliest scenes I've ever seen.
neutral · AI labelView post →I feel a little mean, but my brain keeps going back to the "monster" from the movie adaptation of Stephen King's "Gerald's Game."
neutral · AI labelView post →GERALD'S GAME this movie was fucked up bruh
negative · AI labelView post →Mike Flanagan's name comes onto my feed once a fortnight, and no-one ever mentions the one bit of his work I have seen – Gerald's Game. And that's a brilliant film, so that's all I can weigh in on, talk about that one 😤
positive · AI labelView post →Gerald's Game was fantastic and Doctor Sleep was doomed from the concept, having to incorporate the inaccuracies from Kubrick's movie don't know about Life of Chuck but everything else I've seen from him has been incredible. Even the Ouija prequel was pretty good somehow
positive · AI labelView post →omfg that happens in the movie Gerald's Game and when I watched it I had to pause the movie and go sit in the bathroom cause I thought I was gonna vom 🤢 gory stuff doesn't usually even get to me but THAT
neutral · AI labelView post →Flanagan's Gerald's Game was good af, I have no doubts he could tighten a standalone novel into a movie
positive · AI labelView post →#mikeflanagan is a genius. If he didnt make Doctor Sleep, his Gerald's Game would be my top SK film instead.
positive · AI labelView post →Mike Flanagan's a film director who works a lot in the realm of horror. Among other things, he's done horror adaptations like Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep.
neutral · AI labelView post →Film idea: a remake of 'Gerald's Game' in which a middle aged man gets stuck trying to pull off a sweat soaked t-shirt and is tormented by his younger self.
neutral · AI labelView post →Gerald's Game (the novel and excellent film adaptation) ruined any appeal handcuffs in a sexy situation could have had for me.
neutral · AI labelView post →For me I've a very difficult time choosing between The Regulators and Desperation as I absolutely loved both. I also read Gerald's Game & Dolores Claiborne (connected by an eclipse) prior to those films coming out. I read The Long Walk; I heard they're making a film of that.
