The Big Picture COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In just a decade, Mike Flanagan turned from a wannabe filmmaker to one of the most influential voices in contemporary horror. Flanagan’s first feature film, Absentia, had to be crowdfunded to see the light of day, but now Flanagan keeps signing big-budget contracts to produce his movies and TV shows, with an enviable collection of successes in his career.
Release Date October 21, 2016 Director Mike Flanagan Cast Doug Jones , Henry Thomas , Elizabeth Reaser , Kate Siegel , Lin Shaye , Annalise Basso Runtime 99 minutes Studio Universal Pictures Main Genre Horror Writers Mike Flanagan , Jeff Howard Expand 11 'Before I Wake' 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.
Absentia is the story of a pregnant woman dealing with the disappearance of her husband , supported by her addicted sister . However, Absentia is also about creatures that live under bridges and kidnap humans for evil purposes. When the film leans on the horrors of human life, Absentia is desolating, but once the focus shifts to the creatures, it becomes evident that the crew didn’t have the money they needed to awe the audience.
Release Date October 30, 2019 Director Mike Flanagan Cast Rebecca Ferguson , Ewan McGregor , Zahn McClarnon , Chelsea Talmadge , Carl Lumbly , Alexandra Essoe Runtime 153 Main Genre Horror Writers Stephen King , Akiva Goldsman , Mike Flanagan Expand 7 'The Midnight Club' The Midnight Club has everything a Flanagan series needs to be unforgettable: a great cast of characters, discussions about human mortality, and a mystery that will keep the audience guessing until the last moment.
While some of Flanagan’s productions seem to struggle with the weight of the filmmaker’s ambition, Hush is a self-contained story with a clear purpose and a sharp execution, and it wouldn’t be too much to say this is one of the best slashers ever made. There’s no lack of blood dripping from knives, but the characters are also developed enough so that you care about them without losing the focus of the cat-and-mouse game that’s being played.
Oculus R Horror A recently released inmate from a mental asylum learns from his sister that the murders he was convicted of committing were actually orchestrated by a supernatural entity, the Lasser Glass mirror. With The Haunting of Hill House, Flanagan was able to use the freedom of a limited series to dive deep into the real horrors that haunt our lives without neglecting some pretty good scares. The anachronic structure he had previously used in Oculus is also used in Hill House with such care that the series became one of the most impressive horror productions ever made.
