There’s not a single redeeming quality on 2014’s Ouija. From planning to execution, Ouija fails even to be a generic horror movie, as it has inconsistent pacing, awful character development, and bland scares. However, with a box office of more than $100 million, a sequel to Ouija was bound to happen. Lucky for us, Flanagan was chosen to helm 2016’s...
At the same time that Flanagan directed Ouija: Origin of Evil from a script he wrote with Jeff Howard, the duo worked on a second script together. Contrary to Ouija: Origin of Evil, 2016’s Before I Wake gave Flanagan total creative freedom, which allowed him to craft the unique concept of a boy whose dreams come true. Before I Wake explores how our...
Flanagan’s first film, Absentia, was funded entirely via a Kickstarter campaign, showing how little money there was to produce an ambitious feature-length project. Flanagan used his own home as a set and counted on a terrific cast to make the most of Absentia. Even so, the micro-budget still hurts the film, as it stops Flanagan from delivering the ...
Stephen King’s novel Gerald's Game follows a woman cuffed in a bed by her husband right before he has a heart attack. With no neighbors to hear her screams and no way to get rid of her cuffs, the woman starts to reflect upon her life and the abusive relationship she had with both her husband and her dad. Gerald's Game is a novel that happens mainly...
Almost four decades after The Shining became one of the greatest classics of horror cinema, Doctor Sleep hit theaters with the dual intention of continuing Stanley Kubrick's vision and, at the same time, including the fantastic elements of Stephen King's original book. Few directors could tackle this challenge and be successful, but Flanagan does p...
The Midnight Club has everything a great Flanagan series needs to be unforgettable: a great cast of characters, discussions about human mortality, and an overall mystery that will keep the audience guessing until the last moment. The only reason it ranks so low on this list is that the series feels somewhat uneven by the end of the season. That cou...
The Fall of the House of Usher follows the deterioration of a corrupt and decadent family. Based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Flanagan has already showed that he is a master of adaptations, especially when it comes to horror writers, but with House of Usher he takes it to a new level. Like many of his episodic shows, each episode of the 10-epis...
Flanagan did his fair share of adaptations, but Hush is an original screenplay he wrote with Kate Siegel, who also stars in the film. The fact that Hush was publicly praised by Stephen King and by the director of The Exorcist, William Friedkin, should highlight how well-crafted and nerve-inducing this home-invasion slasher is, breathing new air int...
The anthological sequel to The Haunting of Hill House repeats the success of the first miniseries by crafting an extremely satisfying narrative in which layered characters must face the ghosts of their own pasts. With small details hidden in each scene and a great mystery that reveals itself little by little, The Haunting of Bly Manor takes the vie...
The best film in Flanagan’s career was only his second. After Absentia gathered a lot of public interest, even with the limited budget, Flanagan made a deal with Blumhouse to transform one of his student short films into a full feature. The resulting movie, Oculus, is one of the most elegant horror films ever crafted. Oculus follows the battle of a...

- 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.
