Castle
Rock 9/10
Click here for previous Castle Rock reviews.
I
finally finished watching Castle Rock on Hulu with B&H. Holy
shit. This show was insane. I wanted more answers and did not get
them but I'm not even mad. Molly ends up using her random ass powers
to find Henry in the woods and the deaf dude Odin is dead with a
poker in his eye. Who did it? Don't know. This couple that checked
out the house with Molly decide to rent it out as a B&B that has
a murder theme because fuck it. The husband Gordon decorates the
place with crime scenes from the past using creepy ass mannequins
while his wife wants to bone down and he is like “No...not yet.”
The wife, Lilith, looked familiar and I searched her up and have seen
her in a few movies and shows. She looks like a kitty cat which is my
jammy jam. It turns out that they are making a new start after she
slept with one of Gordon's coworkers at college. Some people come by
and Gordon is pissed they don't give a fuck about his creepy stories
and just wanna fuck because they are both married...to other people.
Later that night they are having the kind of sex that makes the
neighbors call the cops. Gordon can't sleep because he's a hater and
goes up there and murders the fuck out of them. Lilith helps him hide
the body parts because she can't say anything because she cheated. An
affair and double-murder and kinda the same, right?
The
Kid talks to Henry and tells him that Ruth killed Alan and how he
waited years to find Henry. Henry's son calls the cops and the Kid
disappears into the woods. The police fucking hate Henry and say that
wherever he goes death follows. They call him Black Death. In the
basement of the house is a room full of painting of the Kid. This is
the warden who hung himself and drove off a cliff's house. Henry
sneaks in one night and sees all the paintings and checks the dates.
They go back to the early 90's and the kid never ages and in the
earliest one is wearing the same sweater that Henry had on in his
missing child poster. Gordon finds him an instead of explaining what
he is doing Henry stammers and tries to leave. Knife attack! Lilith
comes out with a blade trying to cut up Henry! Gordon jumps in and
Lilith ends up getting stabbed in the neck. Henry has a wound on his
side and races to his car to be yanked out by Gordon. They fight and
Henry has the fighting ability of a newborn puppy gets saved by
Jackie who puts an ax into Gordon's skull. Oh, I also realized that
Jackie is related to Jack Torrance from The Shining.
The
Kid meets up with Molly and explains that he is actually Henry
Deaver. PLOT TWIST!!! In another reality he is the child of Ruth and
Matthew, not Henry. He is also named Henry Deaver. The fuck is
happening?! In his reality Ruth left her husband and moved to Boston
where White Henry grew up to be a successful...something. He is
working on Alzheimer's treatment and has a wife he hopes is pregnant.
Meanwhile back in Castle Rock Matthew adopts young Black Henry as a
child. In present day Matthew kills himself and White Henry finds
Black Henry in a cage in the house. Black Henry talks about voices in
the woods and he needs to see them. Molly and White Henry take Black
Henry away from the police and he ends up running into the woods
flipping back and forth between realities. Molly ends up shot and
killed and White Henry and Black Henry end up in the same reality and
this is how things start. I did a bad job explaining this but the
shit is confusing.
Molly
tells Henry what she learned from the Kid regarding this alternate
reality. The Kid and Henry are both put into jail and the Kid tells
Henry they must get to the woods. Henry's son who got off a bus after
leaving Castle Rock returns and he has the same crazy ear ringing
shit happening. This bus full of prisoners that was heading to fight
the fires in town end up hitting and killing the new warden. The
prisoners are taken to the same jail where Henry and the Kid are so
they are put in the same cell together. The prisoners start talking
that shit until the Kid uses his Rascal Dazzle and the prisoners
start fighting the guards and the Kid ends up getting the keys and
they escape.
In the lobby everyone is dead. They find the young dude
that was helping the older deaf guy tells Henry not to go outside. So
of course Henry does. The Kid holds Henry at gunpoint and forces him
to head to the woods with him so he can leave this reality. Henry
starts having flashes of his past that he forgot and sees that he
really did shove his father off the cliff almost killing him for
wanting to kill his mother, Ruth. Henry attacks a distracted Kid who
turns into a monster for a split second. It is a year later and Henry
is a property manager in Castle Rock while Molly moved to Florida
doing real estate. Henry heads to Shawshank which is closed and he
has the Kid locked in the same cage again. The Kid tells Henry that
he is going to end up like the warden that kept him locked up. Henry
leaves as the Kid starts smiling.
This
show was fucking crazy. I know that it made more questions than gave
answers but it was fun to figure things out as I went along. Even
after the show was finished we used random information we knew about
different mythologies that could possibly solve some mysteries. I
like the way I watched this with three episodes per week because if I
had the chance to watch this whole season in a day or two I would've
missed even more information. This show was well acted. The music was
good. The tone stayed consistent which I always appreciate. If Hulu
has a bunch of good shows like this I am for sure dumping my Netflix
and getting it.
