¡QUÉ HORROR! 2018
Candidate #1
CHANNEL ZERO: NO-END HOUSE
(September 2017)
"God! I keep... waiting for one of you to understand how magnificent this
place is!
"All the gifts that it can give you! Because memory is a disease!
"All the gifts that it can give you! Because memory is a disease!
“And then this house is
the cure! How can you not see that?!”
One
of the most amazing things about Channel
Zero’s sophomore season is that, though it still fundamentally feels like a Channel Zero story (in so much as the Channel Zero logo doesn’t look out of place in the opening credits),
it does so despite the fact that it has a different kind of horror at its core,
compared to the horror of Candle Cove.
With
its central themes of memory and loss and instinct and co-dependency, No-End House is also surprisingly
moving, balancing out the horror with genuine emotion, thanks in no small part
to a commendable cast, which includes the excellent John Carroll Lynch.
Probably
the only drawback here is, the bar is now subsequently so much higher for the third season, Butcher’s Block (airing next year), which counts among its cast, It Follows’ Olivia Luccardi, Teen Wolf’s Holland Roden, and the one
and only Rutger Hauer.
