Hey friends, very exciting video for me, I've dropped some timecodes in the description if you need them. I think this is my longest video EVER! 😅
If you do enjoy the film make sure to like it and share it with a friend, it helps me out a lot!
Thank you for all your support which makes videos like this possible.
You deserve keep it 👍
Yes! Thank you!!! Another example of how you make your channel one of the best!
I WAS UNSUBBED FROM U W/O KNOWING!!! I RESUBBED, BUT MAYBE U ALREADY KNOW YTB DOES THAT?!
@@yougotlaidout Trento
Mike should takle the sci fi genre.. maybe scifi horror genre..
Can we also appreciate his beautiful wife Kate! She’s such a great actress & writer. They’re lucky to have each other
you look great in that bikini
The Haunting of Hill House is honestly the best ghost story I've ever seen on screen. One of my favorite horror projects of all time.
Agreed. It’s also the scariest season of television I’ve ever seen 😦 👻
The Haunting of Hill House was such an emotional ride. I loved it!
I'm not sure how anyone got a sequel to the Shining to work, but he legitimately did it. I was delighted with how it ended. I saw this at the theater and there was an amazing snowstorm when we left, which everyone loved because we all did our best frozen Jack Nicholson impersonation.
I really liked Doctor Sleep - so much that I felt it deserved another hour of runtime (or should have been two movies or a miniseries) so the third act in the Overlook didn't feel so rushed. I felt that led to my one disappointment in the film: it feels like they ran out of time and that led to that POV shot of all the Overlook ghosts reaching at the camera like it's the Thriller video. I know Flanagan is a huge Shining/Kubrick fanboy but that goofy shot _really_ didn't feel like it should have been in the movie and might have been a shortcut for a longer sequence of Danny's eventual outcome.
@@hanonondricek411 agreed a mini series would have been great
loved that movie and was so pleasantly surprised by it. such a great villain in rose the hat. if you can create a villain the viewer really truly hates you are gonna have a success.
I know a lot of people in the horror community aren’t a fan of the haunting of Bly manor but I think it was amazing, yes there was less horror elements but the story was so emotive and I loved the characters in it, the story was so touching.
My wife and I ADORED it!! It was such an awesome show. I was definitely scared at times, creeped out at times, and cried at times!
@@NightOwlandtheMoon yes !! The perfect balance of creeped out and crying 🤣
What people don’t really get about it is that Bly manor is more of a gothic horror, and gothic horror stories are usually less about the fear of danger than the fear of sadness.
Hill house was more like standard horror, while Bly was gothic horror.
Another example of a great gothic horror story is Crimson Peak, which like Bly Manor, was less a scary story than it was a dark romance and tragedy
the horror backstory was the strength of Bly manor .. rest of the love and family angel didn't add to the necessary emotion. I was surprised that I rooted for the ghost more than the love story angle.
I just watched it... And if I have to hear over exposition from a narrator and shitty fake british accents one more minute I'm going to shoot myself.
Emma, Congratulations on getting Mike to be a part of the show. He’s a guy with an eye for talent so obviously he loves your reviews. He is absolutely my favorite horror director and hauntings are my favorite kind of horror movies. I’ve seen all of his movies and Netflix projects so I was sad to hear that Hill House was his most difficult project. It is the best ghost story have ever seen . I loved every second of it. I can’t wait to see his next project. Thanks Emma for a terrific show.
Thank you so much Bill E
Damn girl look at you that’s a big guest I’m so happy all your hard work is coming in affect keep it up👍
Ikr, from the terrifier guy to this?!
Honestly, isnt Mike Flanagan such a legend? Everything I have seen of Mikes is just fab. This video was also just FAB! So interesting to hear both your opinions and insights along with Mikes! :)
Thank you Sammie
I did not expect that! Mike himself 😭
I want to see Mike Flanagan movie with Anya Taylor-Joy as a lead actress in a new Horror Movie. That would be Amazing.
OH MY GOD YES THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
If the story would need a mother Barbara Crampton would be a great fit.
I had an idea recently that someone like Mike Flanagan or Robert Eggers should do "the Blair witch" backstory of how the witch came to be and her powers fully explored and how she came to be.
@@seancoetzee5399 interesting idea. I am not sure if I would honestly want to see that or not cuz I think it’s better if we aren’t shown the origin of the Blair witch and it is more ambiguous but who knows, could be good. Still, I prefer more subtle, Ambiguous storytelling with the Blair witch universe. The less we know about what really happened/is happening the better in my opinion, but still a very interesting idea.
i'm pumped to see her in The Northman!
The fact he doesn't believe in ghosts, but makes them scary as HELL!!! AH-MAZING! Emma what an amazing opportunity you got to interview one of your favorite directors! Huge congrats.
Also, the way he symbolizes ghosts as the hauntings of our experiences in life rather than being real. Flawless. The use of how we are haunted and we manifest our demons and ghost. Gerald's Game literally is the most intense therapy session of a movie, yet so beautifully created to show a woman's journey through her trauma! Soooo awesome. Keep up with the content dear friend
We all know Emma's number one will be Gerald's Game! ❤️ What a milestone in your youtube career Emma, great job 👏👏🤘🤘
This man is a huge inspiration of mine. I made a crowdfunding campaign for a short film of mine that was inspired by Flanagan's work. He ended up donating to the campaign, which was a huge boost for my whole team. It's great to see he still looks out for us indie filmmakers like he used to be.
Mike's Absentia was really inspirational, as when I found out he shot it with the same model camera I had, I realized there was really no excuse not to make a film of my own. If he's reading these comments, thanks for the push. I find it interesting that he also doesn't believe in ghosts, as I don't either, but have a particular affinity for haunted house stories. I find it hard to choose between Doctor Sleep and Gerald's Game, but one of those has to be my favorite. Also, I've never noticed the mirror in Hush...surely it's in that house somewhere.
This really made me like mike flanagan more, very rarely do you get directors talking about their work and to talk it about it fondly. Emma i think our rankings would be pretty similar although i may put Hush higher and 1 and 2 probably flip flop a lot. Congrats on this collab
Damn, now I need to go on a Mike Flanagan binge
I am SHOCKED you ranked Before I Wake so high, only because it's one of his more underrated works. It's one of my favorites. You got me.
Oh awesome!
He has definitely grown on my list of horror directors. Absolutely loved Dr Sleep. Fantastic adaptation and I hope he directs more Stephen King novels.
Gold stars all around. Hearing him mention that The Long Walk would be "unfilmable" makes me think of the years me and my friends have wanted to make that movie!
WOW! I've been watching your videos for a little while since the madness of 2020 and I am so impressed by your commentary skills and analysis. It is amazing to see your hard work pay off with such a high profile guest!! Thrilling stuff.
thanks Daniel!
Emma, you can't do this! There is no "worst" for Mike Flanagan. His "worst" is far superior to other horror movies released.
I have yet to be disappointed with anything he has done.
;) worst to best is just how ranking videos go. Trust me there is no bad films! You'll understand when you watch the video
@@spookyastronauts whew! I was afraid we lost you to the dark side for a minute. Can't wait!
@@WJames-vk2kp She lives in the upside down. She lives in the dark side.
@@JustCallMeMeghan 😂😂 well said
I've liked all of his films except for Before I Wake. I watched it twice and just couldn't get into that one.
Congratulations on this incredible achievement! The amount of work put into this video is evident and it was truly worth the wait.
Also, Mike Flanagan introducing it was possibly the best flex👌Dare I say best video to date?
That’s probably one of the best UA-cam videos I’ve watched and by far a huge achievement. Your best work to date Emma
Thank you Phil!
Mike Flanagan is absolutely incredible. Spooky Astronauts is also absolutely incredible. Nice to see a mutual admiration society with PPL I admire! Love this.
Probably was a quick $100 cameo but okay
I haven't seen all of Flanagan's work, but I appreciate how consistent and expansive his vision of horror is. He writes some of the most brilliantly human horror stories, and even when he doesn't write them, he knows how to transform those stories into his own. Time to binge watch all of his movies this weekend.....
Amazing video Emma, I hope you are very proud of yourself.
Oh I’m excited to watch this. I adore everything he’s done, fantastic director. I think he’s my favorite director overall ever.
Emma goes ultra classy. One of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks a lot. And special thanks to Mike for both the films and appearing here with Emma.
Thanks for supporting me for so many years
Awesome. I'm so happy for you! And Mike seems like such a chill guy.
Also, so interesting to hear other peoples rankings. I don't know many other people IRL who've seen em all. My order is:
9 - Ouija: Origin of Evil
8 - Before I Wake
7 - Absentia
6 - Doctor Sleep
5 - Gerald's Game
4 - Hush
3 - Oculus
2 - THO Bly Manor
1- THO Hill House
i really admire what he managed to pull off with doctor sleep. a dream for me would be a mike flanagan adaptation of house of leaves
I never thought that book could be adapted but clearly he’s shown he can do it justice. Holy hell I would be ecstatic if he adapted it
I respect the heck, outta Mike Flanagan. Despite the fact that I do still have lingering issues with some of his more popular works .. Though, I must admit, that I simply adore “Before I Wake”. To me, that is just an amazing film. Good work, sir!!
So awesome! Proud of you, keep up the great work.
I've been looking forward to this! So glad you got to sit down and talk with Mike, what an experience. This is another level, Emma!
This was so great, Emma! I love Flanagan's visions, and I love all the back info!
Emma and Mike thank you both for this amazing video! 🙏
I am a big fan of Mike’s work and it was such a pleasure to see him on my favourite UA-cam channel!
Love you both guys! ❤️
This is a brilliant video! Love Mike Flanagan movies/series. Big congrats to you Emma!!Well done!
Absolutely amazing video! I felt like I was sitting on an audience of a film festival and I've really been missing that feeling♥️
I love your channel, and this is your best work yet Emma!! What an amazing video.
You are so underrated that it should be illegal! Lol
But seriously I love your channel! Been watching you for a long while now..
so proud and happy that you’ve come such a long way!
Keep going !
Great great video, Emma! Congratulation on this huge collab! I loved hearing Mike's takes on his movies.
This was fantastic!
My n°1 work of his is Bly Manor, I just love gothic romance, but every one of his works are amazing.
For me it’s Absentia and Haunting of Hill House. Those two stole my heart.
100%
For me, Before I wake and Hill House.
This was such an excellent video! I’ve seen each of the films/series mentioned but knew nothing about the man behind them. Thank you so much- particularly for the last question you asked: I could listen to him talk about ghosts, hauntings, and the very practical power they have over our lives for hours. 🥰👌
WOW! The Mike Flannegan on it channel!!! Well done!
I’m so grateful for your unique and entertaining style. I love your honesty and light heartedness during these challenging times. I love how your passion for film/horror films/story telling are felt from the very beginning of each video until the very end. I appreciate your insight and analysis of the ones you do with spoilers. Your fair and candid reactions to films speaks volumes to who you are as a reviewer and as a person as a whole. Keep doing what you are doing…u are one of my favorite channels to follow. Mike Flannegan said in the beginning how he follows and loves your work.
As a fan of supernatural horror Hill House shook me to my core! It was truly a traumatizing experience that I will never forget.
I really love how willing Mike Flannigan is to speak to & work with youtubers. He seems so down to earth. He's passionate about his projects, and it shows.
What an absolute incredible and exciting video you've put to together with Mike, that's just amazing to watch you and him talking about his work and discussing your thoughts too. Thank you for creating and sharing this with us. It's a brilliant video.
Your editing is superb and you are fantastic at what you do. X
This was great! Clearly you put in a lot of hard work. Thanks!
I just rewatched this for the fourth time Emma. I love Mike's work and I love your work. Mike is constantly creating and hopefully soon you can add a part 2.
Great content! ❤ I was pretty stunned that our lists were so different being that I also love his work so much, but that's the fun of movies.
Wow Emma! Amazing!!!!!!! So excited for you to be getting recognition at this level! Well done
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!! Mike's work is therapy to me
this is amazing!! I've been a subscriber for about a year now and I'm so excited to see you get such a big opportunity w Mike Flanagan
What a fantastic video! Emma is amazing and deserves the world! Loved it!
What a fantastic video, Emma! Thank you Mike for supporting our favorite spooky astronaut 😍
Doctor Sleep is such an amazing movie, one of my favourites of 2019. I really loved how it adapts the book so successfully but also changes it enough to be a sequel to the movie version of the Shining too. Thoroughly enjoyed this video Emma, great guest, great list and some amazing movies
This was SUCH a good video! So cool hearing Mike talk about his work. I’ve only seen about half of his films/shows and this makes me want to dive into all the ones I haven’t seen.
Wonderfully ambitious video Emma and you knocked it out of the park! And i love to see Mike take time to pitch in - super sympathetic. I remember how impressed I was seeing Absentia when it came out - wonderfully inspiring to see some one pull that of with limited means. Have been following him ever since.
Yay thank you. Yeah I learnt so much from his input!
i absolutely LOVED this video emma, amazing work as always!
Love Mike Flanagan so much, all of these are favorites of mine. Great interview/review! Can’t wait for midnight mass!! 🙌🏼
Great content as usual!! And OMG! THE Mike Flanagan! Keep up the good work!
I clicked so fast on this video: Mike Flanagan is my favourite horror-creator, and one of my favourite filmmakers in general, and such an inspiration in his vision on ghosts. His works and his (for lack of a better word) "philosophy" on ghosts have helped me to deal with some of my own trauma's and ghosts and I'll be forever that media can have such a powerful effect.
It was wonderful to see the two of you collab!
This is such a great video. In-depth reviews of a bunch of movies I love with bonus details I've missed. I've also never seen Flanagan speak before and he seems so down to earth and eloquent that I love his movies even more.
Congratulations on an amazing video Emma. Absolutely brilliant. Also a massive fan of Flanagans work. Great watch 👍🏻👍🏻
This was wonderful. Mike’s comments at the end were super interesting. Thanks for the Flanagan retrospect! Awesome of him to join in.
The haunting of hill house is one of my favorite series. You deserve a million subscribers. 🤘
This was amazing! Mike Flanagan is my favorite horror filmmaker(or just filmmaker period right now) I adore this man and your channel! Geeking out over here.
Top tier video Emma. I’ve only seen a couple of Mike’s films, but will definitely dive deeper ASAP. Good stuff!
This awesome, one of your best, SA! I agree that what makes Flanagan so powerful and effective is the way he uses personal stories to stoke fear❤
This is now my favorite video of yours. You killed it!!! Off to watch Oculus again lol.
This video made my heart happy. I love Mike’s work and every movie has actually affected me to the point of tears. Past trauma and personal demons that make up the hauntings is so beautiful in a way. Emma, the thought and effort you put into this video was awesome!
Wow! You weren’t kidding when you said you had a special video! I was glued to this! I always love your commentary and your amazing editing style/skills and top notch videos. This one was exceptional- I loved hearing Mike’s commentary mixed in. It’s great to see the man behind the work! Side note, you look so beautiful in this video & that light blue sweater is so gorgeous on you! And I truly cannot believe all you accomplish on your channel while still working a day job!!
Thanks for this fantastic video. I watched some of your stuff, but now I'm a fan :D I wasn't as familiar with all of Mike's work, but with your througout take with interview with director, I can't wait for more of your stuff!
I've enjoyed everything I've seen so far by Mike Flanagan, and I love Absentia so so much! Such an underrated gem. I liked Before I Wake too, that ending was EMOTIONAL
Wow awesome shoutout in the beginning! 😁 This was an amazing video. I always love your passion for the horror genre. This inspired me to buy Hill House on Blu-ray.
What an awesome video! Loved hearing your rankings and what Mike had to say as well. Great job!
another great vid!! your channel is the best
Wow, this video was amazing! While my personal ranking looks a bit different I full respect your list and reasons behind your personal ranking! What an absolute treat to also have Mike speak on this video about his work! He is by far one of my favorite directors and I can’t wait for his new works to come out. I think I have watched Hill House all the way through 4 times and counting. Well done Emma👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is so awesome! Well done Emma 💘
I'm so happy for you! Such a big guest! Congratulations Emma! Ahhh
this was super good Emma! i enjoyed it very much. #1 was an easy guess it's literally a masterpiece ❤️🙌
Amazing video! Love Mike Flanagan’s body of work!!
Well done Emma! Fantastic video and such a huge fan of Mike as well! So happy you got to do this :)
👏👏👏 Such an AMAZING video!! Great story and perspectives of Mike Flanagan's work and themes. I respect the heck of out him even more when you really dive into his filmography and story telling style. And I respect YOU even more with your commentary on his films! Congrats on scoring this awesome interview with him - you deserve all the attention it gets!!
Love this video Emma is truly one of your best! Love the deep dives on directors work!
Your best video yet. Entertaining and educational. X.
This was so amazing Emma, and fantastic for getting Mike on board! It was really interesting to hear his takes on the individual films, and the challenges he went through making them.
I think my favourite thing he's put out has to be The Haunting of Hill House, it absolutely broke me. And Hush comes in second because I've seen it multiple times and just adore the concept!
I'm still to see Oculus, Before I Wake, Absentia, and The Haunting of Bly Manor, so I need to get on that! I also had no idea that Before I Wake was a Flanagan film, I'm kicking myself for constantly scrolling past it on Netflix now!
Great Video! Thanks Emma and Mike!
For Emma…That was one of the BEST GODD*NM videos I’ve ever seen on UA-cam! No bs 💯 honest. I’m a special features fanatic and videos like this are why people spend 100’s on dvd boxsets!! FOR CONTENT LIKE THIS. What an amazing look through Mike’s career to this point, this was a true love letter to his work! You should be very proud of this video it’s absolutely phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much
Agreed! This is a homerun! So happy for you and thank you for ypur wonderful job!
Epic! Nice to see some recognition. You deserve it!
Great video Emma! It's so cool to see you collaborate with one of your favorite directors and have his input.
This was just fantastic and one of my favorite videos of yours. Mike Flanagan's one of my favorite horror directors in recent years, with Doctor Sleep being my personal favorite of his. Incredible that he was also part of this video and we got to hear some tidbits from him regarding some of his films. Excellent stuff!
This was wonderful. I'm happy for you that you got to have this experience. I'm also a big Flanagan fan, so I can imagine how this felt for you.
This is such a GOOD video! Holy shit! Mike is a modern legend. Thank you for this Emma!
Wow, it's so cool that you got Mike to do this with you! He is one of my favorite horror directors currently working. I personally would've put Doctor Sleep higher on my ranking, but I like your ranking a lot and thought it was really cool that you put Before I Wake so high! I've yet to see it myself because I can't find it anywhere :/ definitely on my to watch list though!
What an amazing video! Mike is such a great filmmaker, and one of my favourite horror directors. I really enjoyed watching this. Great work!
I've been waiting for this ever since you teased it and I was so not disappointed! I never guessed you'd actually gave him on there to give little insights that was so cool! He's a director I love and his themes resonate so well! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I've been hooked on him since Oculus!
On a totally different note (if you're feeling better) I personally have been wondering your thoughts on Till Death if you've happened to watch it yet?
Fantastic video, as always!
Loved the video, great work
Amazing video, I am a huge fan of Mike Flanagan! He has made me cry in many occasions LOL - I love your channel too!
What a feature! So rad! 🙏🏽👏🏼 - I have followed his career since Absentia - but it was “Hush” that really did it for me.
I’m so happy you got this opportunity!! Amazin
