- MIDNIGHT MASS (2021) Midnight Mass, Flanagan’s latest Netflix series about a mysterious priest who comes to a remote island, is his best work. It’s a meditation on grief, recovery, and faith – not to mention, it’s also terrifying.
- DOCTOR SLEEP (2019) Not only is Doctor Sleep an adaptation of Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining, but it also serves as a cinematic sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980), one of the most iconic horror movies ever made.
- THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (2018) Netflix. Flanagan’s first series for Netflix was a rousing success. Loosely based on Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel of the same name, The Haunting of Hill House is a ten-episode look into the Crain family and their relationship to the paranormal Hill House that they once occupied.
- HUSH (2016) Hush is an 81-minute crash course on how to create a thrilling slasher movie using essentially two actors, one set, and virtually no dialogue.

- The Haunting of Hill House – 93% The show that really skyrocketed Flanagan’s career as a horror filmmaker, The Haunting of Hill House, is considered by many his best work and one of the greatest modern horror series.
- Hush – 93% Hush takes the trope of home invasion and makes it even more interesting with a compelling lead. What is interesting about the movie is that he gives the protagonist a disability: she can’t hear.
- Gerald’s Game – 91% Another Stephen King adaptation, Gerald’s Game, is a hard story to translate to the screen: there’s basically one character stuck in a room where she can’t move.
- The Haunting of Bly Manor – 88% The second installment of The Haunting anthology series, The Haunting of Bly Manor, is based on the classic work by Henry James, The Turn of the Screw.
