According to Mike Flanagan, this horror series, with a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, is "one of the very best shows on TV." Apart from being an exceptional filmmaker and showrunner, Flanagan has also been a reliable movie and television critic. His reviews on social media platforms and reviewing sites like Letterboxd have often garnered a lot of attention because viewers appreciate how he uses his expertise in the horror genre to break down and review films and series based on their technical aspects and emotional resonance.

Since the early 2010s, director Mike Flanagan has led some truly amazing horror projects, and fortunately, many of his best works are currently available to stream on Netflix. Flanagan's career first began in 2011 when he directed his initial feature film, Absentia. After earning strong critical ratings, he went on to helm bigger and better projects, eventually taking on Stephen King adaptations. Soon enough, Flanagan transitioned to television, completing a successful deal with Netflix. Overall, Flanagan has proven himself to be a skilled filmmaker, with projects that no horror buff should miss out on.

Stephen King shares a new update on The Dark Tower adaptation. King's fantasy western spans eight novels and one short story that were published between 1982 and 2012. The epic series follows Roland Deschain and his Ka-tet as they journey across Mid-World to find the Dark Tower. After successfully translating multiple King works, writer/director Mike Flanagan is currently developing the Dark Tower series after the 2017 movie adaptation failed to connect with audiences and flopped at the box office.

Acclaimed director Mike Flanagan has teased that his adaptations of Carrieand The Exorcist are very timely. Flanagan has written and directed many critically acclaimed movies and TV shows, such as Hush, Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House, and Midnight Mass. After cementing himself as one of the most successful directors currently working in the horror genre, Flanagan is now working on a Carrie TV show and a new Exorcist movie.

Stephen King and Mike Flanagan's 2025 movie continues to receive more praise. Flanagan has adapted multiple King stories and is in the process of adapting more of the acclaimed author's works as well. King's 1992 novel Gerald's Game was adapted by Flanagan in 2017, with the movie's cast led by Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood. In 2019, Flanagan also helmed a film adaptation of Doctor Sleep, the sequel to King's iconic horror novel The Shining.

While there is a lot of competition for the title, Mike Flanagan earned the accolade of the greatest horror miniseries of all time six years ago when the director released Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House. The horror miniseries rarely receive as much attention as horror movies or horror TV shows in of format, but the format offers directors an opportunity to tell a bigger, more immersive story without necessarily committing to multiple seasons. From 1978’s Salem’s Lot to 2017’s Twin Peaks: The Return, the horror miniseries has a unique place in cultural history.

One of the wildest scenes in Stephen King's The Dark Tower will be difficult for Mike Flanagan's adaptation to get right, but the show absolutely has to include it. Stephen King has described The Dark Tower as his magnum opus, and the series is incredibly important to King and his fans. The 2017 movie version of The Dark Tower, however, didn't live up to the novels' legacy. Luckily, acclaimed horror writer and director Mike Flanagan is developing a Dark Tower show that more closely follows King's novels. While that should give it an advantage over Matthew McConaughey's first major villain role, it will also introduce some problems.

Matthew McConaughey's first major villain role was in The Dark Tower, and it will soon be remade by horror writer and director Mike Flanagan. Most of Matthew McConaughey's best movies put him in heroic roles: Dallas Buyers Club's Ron Woodroof became a hero by the film's ending, and Interstellar's Cooper is the definition of a tragic hero. It's rare that the actor plays a villain, but he got a chance to play his first major antagonist when he ed the cast of The Dark Tower in 2017.

Writer/director Mike Flanagan shares several recommendations for uplifting movies. Flanagan is best known for his work in the horror genre with films such as Hush, Oculus, and Ouija: Origin of Evil. He saw success with Netflix series, including The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and Fall of the House of Usher. He also adapted the Stephen King novels Doctor Sleep and Gerald's Game. He has three more King adaptations in the works with The Life of Chuck, Carrie, and the genre-crossing epic The Dark Tower. In addition to those, Flanagan is busy with a new Exorcist movie.
