The release date for Mike Flanagan's new highly anticipated Exorcist movie is spot-on following the release of his last demonic horror. The new Exorcist film will be released in 2026, some ten years after Flanagan's Ouija: Origin of Evil was released on October 21, 2016. Flanagan's most recent production, The Fall of the House of Usher, was released exclusively on Netflix on October 12, 2023. Given its nature, Flanagan's Exorcist film will likely be released in October 2026. 6y3q1a

The Ouija: Origin Of Evil ending showed that Blumhouse made a good choice by handing the franchise over to Mike Flanagan. The director remains one of the horror genre's best modern-day filmmakers, with hits like The Haunting Of Hill House, Gerald's Game, and Doctor Sleep. Blumhouse chose him to helm 2016's Ouija: Origin Of Evil, a prequel to Ouija. While the original was a box office success, it was also critically panned. Flanagan was given free creative reign to do what he wanted in the sequel.

The Exorcist: Deceiveris in talks with Mike Flanagan to replace David Gordon Green in the director's chair, and one forgotten project in his filmography shows just how he can save the revived horror franchise. Blumhouse and Halloween's David Gordon Green brought back the possession-driven franchise in 2023 with The Exorcist: Believer, revolving around a single father whose daughter and her best friend go missing, only to be found and exhibiting signs of possession. In an effort to save the pair, the parents turn to various religious experts and returning character Chris MacNeil for help.

A set photo from The Fall of the House of Usher reveals a double Easter egg for a past Mike Flanagan horror film. Based on the eponymous short story and other works by Edgar Allan Poe, the latest Netflix horror series from Flanagan follows a family dynasty whose heirs begin dying in mysterious ways. The Fall of the House of Usher cast includes Lulu Wilson as a teenage Madeline Usher, who previously starred in Flanagan's 2016 horror film Ouija: Origin of Evil.

With recent horror movies like the newest Scream, the genre is as lively as ever with sequels. Horror movie sequels can get a bad rep sometimes, but there are many fantastic inclusions as well, and some sequels manage to revitalize or reimagine entire franchises.

Orphan: First Kill has just been released in theaters and is available for streaming on Paramount+, ing the pantheon of high-profile prequels to cult horror movies. So far, reviews for the prequel are faring better than the original - and Isabelle Fuhrman again nailing the leading role - as it explores more of Esther's backstory and her history with troubled families.

Platinum Dunes horror movies are both beloved and reviled in horror circles, so how do the production company's many genre offerings rank in of quality from the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake to A Quiet Place? In the two decades that the production company has spent as a major player in the world of cinematic horror, Platinum Dunes has been both often hated and occasionally well-liked by horror fans.

Actress Kate Siegel is regularly a bright spot in the films and TV shows of director Mike Flanagan, and there's a reason she's in so many. That's not to say that Siegel has only appeared in projects involving Flanagan. She's been in several without him, and will presumably star in more in the future. But it's Siegel's collaborations with Flanagan for which she's best known. This includes starring in 2016's nail-biting horror/thriller Hush, in which Siegel plays a deaf woman stalked by a ruthless killer.

The first Ouija movie had a lot of problems, to put it mildly, but 2016 sequel Ouija: Origin of Evil managed to improve on it in every respect. The Ouija board has been a prominent aspect of occult lore for a very long time, and whether or not one believes it can be used to talk to spirits or not, it's not too surprising it might eventually get a horror movie centered on it. The Ouija board has certainly played a ing part in cinematic horror before, such as in The Exorcist or Paranormal Activity.

Modern horror master Mike Flanagan has so far directed seven feature films, and here's how they stack up against each other, worst to best. There's a certain pantheon of directors that are eternally revered within the horror genre. Names like James Whale, Wes Craven, Dario Argento, John Carpenter, and George Romero. While it may be too early yet to consider currently working directors for that exalted class, two from the modern era seemingly headed there are James Wan and Mike Flanagan.
