The Haunting of Hill House’s Mike Flanagan Explains Why He Stopped Writing ‘Bleak, Hopeless’ Endings

The critically acclaimed director Mike Flanagan’s vision for his projects’ endings has shifted.

Flanagan directed the film using a screenplay co-written with Kate Siegel. The film also stars Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass), John Gallagher Jr. (The Newsroom, 10 Cloverfield Lane), Samantha Sloyan (Midnight Mass, Grey’s Anatomy), and Michael Trucco (Battlestar Galactica, The Fall of the House of Usher). Trevor Macy and Jason Blum produced.

After its premiere at SXSW in 2016, Hush was quickly solidified as one of Flanagan’s best works. Stephen King, who has had some of his books given live-action adaptations by Flanagan, was among those praising the film. King referred to the movie as “up there with Halloween, and even more, Wait Until Dark. White knuckle time.” The film also holds a Certified Fresh score at Rotten Tomatoes of 93%, still holding the record as the highest-rated movie directed by Flanagan.

Mike Flanagan Is a Horror Genre Fan Favorite Director

Flanagan also directed the King adaptations Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep. His next project, The Life of Chuck, is another film based on a King story, but it’s notably not a horror movie. Flanagan’s other genre works include the films Oculus and Ouija: Origin of Evil. He also created the horror shows The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, and The Fall of the House of Usher.

Hush will be available for purchase and rent digitally in the U.S. and Canada on Aug. 27, 2024. It will be available on digital platforms including Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Fandango At Home, and Microsoft.
