INTERVIEWS – Writer/Director Mike Flanagan on Challenges of Book to Film Adaptations at 10th Anniversary of Oculus at Overlook Film Festival 2024

Your pals at Cult Classics got the chance to interview director Mike Flanagan who directed Midnight Mass, theatres Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep amongst other films at the 10th anniversary of Oculus screening at the Overlook Film Festival @overlookfilmfest in New Orleans.

We chatted about meeting years ago with his first film #Absentia at the @phoenixfilmfestival and the challenges in directing an original story like Oculus or Absentia versus working on a film adaptation like Doctor Sleep or Gerald’s Game! We also discuss what it is that makes horror such an interesting genre to play in and what makes a master of horror!
