With The Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor, Midnight Sermons, The Midnight Club and now The Fall of the House of Usher, Mike Flanagan has established himself as a big name in the horror world. And that’s just his series, as the screenwriter has also directed a number of films, including Dr. Sleep – the sequel to The Shining – and Jessie, both adapted from Stephen King’s novels.
It’s always tempting to know a filmmaker’s taste in order to learn more about the films that inspired them. Through a number of interviews, Mike Flanagan has talked a lot about his favorite horror movies. Here are ten of them. Enough to give ideas to those who want to continue the nightmare after being swallowed by the fall of the House of Usher.
10 horror movies recommended by Mike Flanagan:
- Lake Mungo by Joel Anderson
- Tigers Are Not Afraid by Issa Lopez
- Prince of Darkness by John Carpenter
- Morse Code by Thomas Alfredson
- A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night by Anna Lily Amirpour
- Thirst by Park Chan-wook
- Nosferatu, Ghost of the Night by Werner Herzog
- Karine Kusama’s invitation
- Lair of Madness by John Carpenter
- Owned by Andrzej Zhulawski
This list reflects Mike Flanagan’s taste in horror. German, South Korean, Swedish, Australian cinema… as many horizons as there are different films. It’s interesting to see director John Carpenter twice with two films that are often unknown to the general public.
Among these choices, we particularly recommend Lake MungoA real oddity from Australia and a movie Possessionwhich allows actress Isabelle Ajan to deliver a haunting interpretation of rare intensity.
The Fall of the House of Usher is available on Netflix.
