The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass creator Mike Flanagan takes to the Internet to share his praise for a creepy new indie horror movie.
Mike Flanagan has shared praise for a creepy new independent horror movie named The Outwaters that is currently in theaters. The filmmaker, who has frequently adapted Stephen King works including Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep, and the upcoming Dark Tower series, is best known for his contributions to the horror genre.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Today, Flanagan took to Twitter to heap praise on the new indie horror film The Outwaters. He described the movie as a "jaunt directly into hell," praising writer-director Robbie Banfitch as well as the entire cast and crew. His love was so effusive that Banfitch's mother responded to the post almost immediately, saying that she was honored by the praise and that Robbie "worked so hard on it.
Flanagan likely knows exactly how much professing his love for The Outwaters could help its prospects. The director himself began his career in the world of independent horror. He has been directing small independent features since 2011, but his career really began to pick up with a pair of indie projects, the first being his short film Oculus: Chapter 3 - The Man with the Plan, which was later adapted into the 2013 Karen Gillan horror outing Oculus.
However, Oculus likely would have never been made if Flanagan didn't show off his horror credentials with his 2011 indie feature Absentia. That film, which only cost $70,000, follows a woman investigating a tunnel that is linked to a series of disappearances. Much like The Outwaters, it showed off what he could do without breaking the bank.
