Mike Flanagan is on top of the game rn imo. While I adore films like hereditary and the witch for being as scary as they are I will always appreciate a high focus on characters and the emotional stakes of things like midnight mass or bly manor more. What he makes isn’t even always super scary but it’s all the more tense because of your attachment to everyone
