Looking back on that ending: 'Gerald's Game' (2017)

We’re almost at Halloween and already our screens have been graced with a variety of horror films and shows. Receiving a rather high amount of critical praise is Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House, the same Mike Flanagan that gifted us Gerald’s Game last year. Which, as the title of this article suggests, got me thinking about the response that the film received, specifically the divisive ten minutes at the end of the feature. Because of this, I watched it again, and noticed a few things I feel are worthy of writing up. It goes without saying, but I will say it anyway, you should probably not read on if you haven’t seen the film or read the Stephen King novel.
