Hey friends, very exciting video for me, I've dropped some timecodes in the description if you need them. I think this is my longest video EVER! 😅 If you do enjoy the film make sure to like it and share it with a friend, it helps me out a lot! Thank you for all your support which makes videos like this possible.

Mike should takle the sci fi genre.. maybe scifi horror genre..

[@Ka_Malani]

Can we also appreciate his beautiful wife Kate! She’s such a great actress & writer. They’re lucky to have each other

[@charles___]

you look great in that bikini

[@shannoncopeland4506]

The Haunting of Hill House is honestly the best ghost story I've ever seen on screen. One of my favorite horror projects of all time.

[@toddpacker4683]

Agreed. It’s also the scariest season of television I’ve ever seen 😦 👻

[@vegpuppy255]

The Haunting of Hill House was such an emotional ride. I loved it!

[@amy_yoshikawa]

I want to see Mike Flanagan movie with Anya Taylor-Joy as a lead actress in a new Horror Movie. That would be Amazing.

[@ravenproductions5609]

OH MY GOD YES THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

[@Armandthevampire]

If the story would need a mother Barbara Crampton would be a great fit.

[@seancoetzee5399]

I had an idea recently that someone like Mike Flanagan or Robert Eggers should do "the Blair witch" backstory of how the witch came to be and her powers fully explored and how she came to be.

[@ravenproductions5609]

@@seancoetzee5399 interesting idea. I am not sure if I would honestly want to see that or not cuz I think it’s better if we aren’t shown the origin of the Blair witch and it is more ambiguous but who knows, could be good. Still, I prefer more subtle, Ambiguous storytelling with the Blair witch universe. The less we know about what really happened/is happening the better in my opinion, but still a very interesting idea.

[@axlrozes1777]

i'm pumped to see her in The Northman!

[@MakeUpShoppingMyLife]

I know a lot of people in the horror community aren’t a fan of the haunting of Bly manor but I think it was amazing, yes there was less horror elements but the story was so emotive and I loved the characters in it, the story was so touching.

[@NightOwlandtheMoon]

My wife and I ADORED it!! It was such an awesome show. I was definitely scared at times, creeped out at times, and cried at times!

[@MakeUpShoppingMyLife]

@@NightOwlandtheMoon yes !! The perfect balance of creeped out and crying 🤣

[@cheezyfilmsproductions1842]

What people don’t really get about it is that Bly manor is more of a gothic horror, and gothic horror stories are usually less about the fear of danger than the fear of sadness. Hill house was more like standard horror, while Bly was gothic horror. Another example of a great gothic horror story is Crimson Peak, which like Bly Manor, was less a scary story than it was a dark romance and tragedy

[@snigdhaghosh5865]

the horror backstory was the strength of Bly manor .. rest of the love and family angel didn't add to the necessary emotion. I was surprised that I rooted for the ghost more than the love story angle.

[@vincenzodellama7158]

I just watched it... And if I have to hear over exposition from a narrator and shitty fake british accents one more minute I'm going to shoot myself.

[@SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

I'm not sure how anyone got a sequel to the Shining to work, but he legitimately did it. I was delighted with how it ended. I saw this at the theater and there was an amazing snowstorm when we left, which everyone loved because we all did our best frozen Jack Nicholson impersonation.

[@hanonondricek411]

I really liked Doctor Sleep - so much that I felt it deserved another hour of runtime (or should have been two movies or a miniseries) so the third act in the Overlook didn't feel so rushed. I felt that led to my one disappointment in the film: it feels like they ran out of time and that led to that POV shot of all the Overlook ghosts reaching at the camera like it's the Thriller video. I know Flanagan is a huge Shining/Kubrick fanboy but that goofy shot _really_ didn't feel like it should have been in the movie and might have been a shortcut for a longer sequence of Danny's eventual outcome.

[@taylor11111]

@@hanonondricek411 agreed a mini series would have been great

[@michaelautrey6641]

loved that movie and was so pleasantly surprised by it. such a great villain in rose the hat. if you can create a villain the viewer really truly hates you are gonna have a success.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you Sammie

[@PieGuyBill]

Emma, Congratulations on getting Mike to be a part of the show. He’s a guy with an eye for talent so obviously he loves your reviews. He is absolutely my favorite horror director and hauntings are my favorite kind of horror movies. I’ve seen all of his movies and Netflix projects so I was sad to hear that Hill House was his most difficult project. It is the best ghost story have ever seen . I loved every second of it. I can’t wait to see his next project. Thanks Emma for a terrific show.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you so much Bill E

[@Dearest_orugitas]

Damn, now I need to go on a Mike Flanagan binge

[@singlechica1991]

The fact he doesn't believe in ghosts, but makes them scary as HELL!!! AH-MAZING! Emma what an amazing opportunity you got to interview one of your favorite directors! Huge congrats. Also, the way he symbolizes ghosts as the hauntings of our experiences in life rather than being real. Flawless. The use of how we are haunted and we manifest our demons and ghost. Gerald's Game literally is the most intense therapy session of a movie, yet so beautifully created to show a woman's journey through her trauma! Soooo awesome. Keep up with the content dear friend

[@dustinweible]

This man is a huge inspiration of mine. I made a crowdfunding campaign for a short film of mine that was inspired by Flanagan's work. He ended up donating to the campaign, which was a huge boost for my whole team. It's great to see he still looks out for us indie filmmakers like he used to be.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Mike's Absentia was really inspirational, as when I found out he shot it with the same model camera I had, I realized there was really no excuse not to make a film of my own. If he's reading these comments, thanks for the push. I find it interesting that he also doesn't believe in ghosts, as I don't either, but have a particular affinity for haunted house stories. I find it hard to choose between Doctor Sleep and Gerald's Game, but one of those has to be my favorite. Also, I've never noticed the mirror in Hush...surely it's in that house somewhere.

[@WJames-vk2kp]

I am SHOCKED you ranked Before I Wake so high, only because it's one of his more underrated works. It's one of my favorites. You got me.

[@spookyastronauts]

Oh awesome!

[@rmusic08]

This really made me like mike flanagan more, very rarely do you get directors talking about their work and to talk it about it fondly. Emma i think our rankings would be pretty similar although i may put Hush higher and 1 and 2 probably flip flop a lot. Congrats on this collab

[@MuddMaxx]

Gold stars all around. Hearing him mention that The Long Walk would be "unfilmable" makes me think of the years me and my friends have wanted to make that movie!

[@hoops8663]

He has definitely grown on my list of horror directors. Absolutely loved Dr Sleep. Fantastic adaptation and I hope he directs more Stephen King novels.

[@WJames-vk2kp]

Emma, you can't do this! There is no "worst" for Mike Flanagan. His "worst" is far superior to other horror movies released. I have yet to be disappointed with anything he has done.

[@spookyastronauts]

;) worst to best is just how ranking videos go. Trust me there is no bad films! You'll understand when you watch the video

Mike Flanagan is absolutely incredible. Spooky Astronauts is also absolutely incredible. Nice to see a mutual admiration society with PPL I admire! Love this.

[@davemccombs]

Probably was a quick $100 cameo but okay

[@ScottEdmondson411]

Oh I’m excited to watch this. I adore everything he’s done, fantastic director. I think he’s my favorite director overall ever.

[@chriscze6153]

I haven't seen all of Flanagan's work, but I appreciate how consistent and expansive his vision of horror is. He writes some of the most brilliantly human horror stories, and even when he doesn't write them, he knows how to transform those stories into his own. Time to binge watch all of his movies this weekend..... Amazing video Emma, I hope you are very proud of yourself.

[@AM19925]

i really admire what he managed to pull off with doctor sleep. a dream for me would be a mike flanagan adaptation of house of leaves

[@x0ShYgIrL0x]

I never thought that book could be adapted but clearly he’s shown he can do it justice. Holy hell I would be ecstatic if he adapted it

[@watchthisnow2865]

Congratulations on this incredible achievement! The amount of work put into this video is evident and it was truly worth the wait. Also, Mike Flanagan introducing it was possibly the best flex👌Dare I say best video to date?

As a fan of supernatural horror Hill House shook me to my core! It was truly a traumatizing experience that I will never forget.

[@tomklenskjr.2491]

I respect the heck, outta Mike Flanagan. Despite the fact that I do still have lingering issues with some of his more popular works .. Though, I must admit, that I simply adore “Before I Wake”. To me, that is just an amazing film. Good work, sir!!

[@takethedoughnut]

What a great job you did with this! My favorite of Mike's works is Hush, so I was bummed to see it ranked relatively low on your list, but I also appreciate you and I have different factors that are driving us. For me, the home invasion genre of horror is the most riveting of all, and Hush does some things that make me feel very invested.

[@Dearest_orugitas]

For me it’s Absentia and Haunting of Hill House. Those two stole my heart.

[@annediaz152]

100%

[@Noa......]

For me, Before I wake and Hill House.

[@xellffs6258]

I really love how willing Mike Flannigan is to speak to & work with youtubers. He seems so down to earth. He's passionate about his projects, and it shows.

[@spikeybwoy]

Doctor Sleep is such an amazing movie, one of my favourites of 2019. I really loved how it adapts the book so successfully but also changes it enough to be a sequel to the movie version of the Shining too. Thoroughly enjoyed this video Emma, great guest, great list and some amazing movies

[@FleshMaidenify]

Awesome. I'm so happy for you! And Mike seems like such a chill guy. Also, so interesting to hear other peoples rankings. I don't know many other people IRL who've seen em all. My order is: 9 - Ouija: Origin of Evil 8 - Before I Wake 7 - Absentia 6 - Doctor Sleep 5 - Gerald's Game 4 - Hush 3 - Oculus 2 - THO Bly Manor 1- THO Hill House

[@toddpacker4683]

I didn’t realize he directed so much of my favorite horror movies. Oculus, hush, doctor sleep, hill house, midnight mass

[@emperorcupcake]

I've enjoyed everything I've seen so far by Mike Flanagan, and I love Absentia so so much! Such an underrated gem. I liked Before I Wake too, that ending was EMOTIONAL

[@hanaphelps9971]

Love Mike so much I loved the tidbit at the end about how hauntings in our lives don’t mean ghosts specifically but figuratively from our past

I wish Scream Factory would release his films on Blu-ray. With slip covers. I can totally see a whole collection. His films are so hard to find!! A few aren’t on Blu-ray. I asked Flanagan on Twitter if they would be released on Blu-ray but he didn’t answer me. As if. lol.

Great great video, Emma! Congratulation on this huge collab! I loved hearing Mike's takes on his movies. This was fantastic! My n°1 work of his is Bly Manor, I just love gothic romance, but every one of his works are amazing.

For Mike Flanagan- DUDE. Do you know how many times I’ve watched the Doctor Sleep director’s cut?!? Your original films make me think and make me feel and your adaptations of SK’s works will go down next to Rob Reiner and Frank Darabont as F’n flawless dude. Can you please tell Netflix to put out physical copy’s of Hush, Geralds game, and before I wake?! I’m so distraught that I can’t have a complete collection of your films on my shelf!

[@renee_3364]

I clicked so fast on this video: Mike Flanagan is my favourite horror-creator, and one of my favourite filmmakers in general, and such an inspiration in his vision on ghosts. His works and his (for lack of a better word) "philosophy" on ghosts have helped me to deal with some of my own trauma's and ghosts and I'll be forever that media can have such a powerful effect. It was wonderful to see the two of you collab!

[@tyagirodriguez4947]

Great content! ❤ I was pretty stunned that our lists were so different being that I also love his work so much, but that's the fun of movies.

[@Polymorphia1965]

OUTSTANDING overview! I sorta wish you didn't do the "ranking" thing, but other than that this video is a wonderful celebration of Flanagan's work as well as a great introduction for those who may be unfamiliar with his output. His work resonates with me like no other filmmaker. And, yes, this makes me want to go back and revisit all these brilliant films again, and finally get around to seeing Absentia (the only one of these films I haven't yet seen). Thanks, Emma!

[@Nessi5]

This was such an awesome deep dive into Mike's works! I know its kind of far fetched but I would love the same thing with Guillermo Del Toro's films as well! Or any other directors in hopes of making this a series!

I can't believe I was lucky to see "Before I Wake" on the big screen! and fun fact it was released as "Somnia" (his original title idea), it was my first movie I watched of him and totally loved it!! I keep it close to my heart cause it was the first time I went to the movies alone, ready for a good scare! And I ended in love with the storyline and his style, I walked out googling his name and watching his past work. He's my favorite director and it was amazing to be able to hear his experiences while shooting... thank you so much Emma for this video, it was fantastic♡

[@eversongwoods]

Oculus has a really special spot in my heart as well as Mike's. I also do not know why that movie attracts me so much, but it does. I am so happy that it exists.

[@arontamas5639]

Haven't seen Absentia yet, almost done with Midnight mass (which I like a lot so far). Number one is Haunting of Hill House, that show is just everything, starting with the brilliant plotline, the atmosphere and the cast. Mike put all of his heart in that one! Doctor sleep, as for me, was much better than Shining. Oculus built the tension from zero to 100%, what a trip. In my opinion, the weak link in his filmography was Ouija 2 but I still like to rewatch that one. Mike is a genius and criminally underrated!

[@MarkHoulihan5]

Hadn’t realised Before I Wake was Mike Flanagan! Will definitely check it out now - thanks!

[@lh2354]

There were only three people (including me) in the cinema when I watched Doctor Sleep. I was the only person in the middle row and the other two were sitting separately at the right and left corner seats. It turned out to be one of the best horror watches in my life. I was howling freely and no one dared to silence my chaotic energy. Because of that whole experience, Doctor Sleep is my favorite Mike Flanagan film! ;) P. S. Those two people probably didn’t notice me screaming because of how far we were sitting from each other and also of how loud the cinema audio was. I hope I did not ruin their experience. I was just carried away by the freedom I had at that time :)

[@pinehawk9600]

I agree! Absolutely loved being back at the Overlook! And the girl that played Abra just killed it omg she was fantastic! And tough as nails..think I'll watch it again tonight
