Before I Wake (2016)

Starring Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, and Jacob Tremblay, Before I Wake explores the terrifying consequences of a young boy’s dreams becoming reality. It combines a heartwarming family drama with supernatural elements.

Doctor Sleep (2019)

A sequel to Stephen King’s The Shining, Doctor Sleep, starring Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson follows a grown-up Danny Torrance as he confronts a group of psychic vampires. Flanagan successfully pays homage to Kubrick’s classic while crafting a compelling narrative of his own. According to some sources, Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep got the nod of approval from Quentin Tarantino.

Gerald’s Game (2017)

Based on Stephen King’s novel, Gerald’s Game is a tense and claustrophobic thriller about a woman who gets trapped in a cottage after her husband dies during a tantalising game of role-play. Flanagan skillfully brings this psychological horror story to life, blending hazy hallucinations with horror.

Oculus (2013)

One of Flanagan’s earlier works, this one is available to stream only on Netflix South Korea for now. Oculus tells the story of a haunted mirror that torments a family. With its non-linear narrative and spine-chilling atmosphere, it’s a gripping exploration of the blurred lines between reality and illusion.

Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)

This prequel to the 2014 film Ouija takes audiences back in time to witness a sinister tale involving a fraudulent seance business and a malevolent spirit. Flanagan’s direction injects life into the Ouija board horror trope.
