Considering the filmmaker’s popular detest for jump scares, it could be his commentary on lazy writing in this genre!? Or as Spence says, “Startled isn’t the same as scared. He also has fun in the first episode, where he employs 21 jump scares back-to-back, breaking the Guinness World Record for most scares in one episode. With his usual flair, Flanagan plays all these narratives well by having the characters add layers to the storytelling. If Kevin’s The Wicked Heart teaches isolation is not a cure, Sandra’s Gimme a Kiss is about mending ailment to the LGBTQ community. If in Road to Nowhere, Natsuki (Aya Furukawa) narrates her tale of a suicidal journey, Anya’s The Two Danas is about the human mind torn between desire and expectations. Flanagan makes these narrations deeply impactful by weaving in each of the inmate’s darkest troubles by manifesting them as the paranormal existence trapped within their satanic human minds. Each of the teen’s stories brims with horror, but the stories also talk about the fears entrenched deep within their minds. The show is a brilliant confluence of human emotions that deal with death, acceptance, and mortality, while also doubling up efficiently as a horror anthology.
