The Haunting of Hill House was such a great bit of telly. I enjoy most of Mike Flanagan's work, but that one is in another league entirely.
Edit - it occurs to me that The Haunting... is very very much about trauma, but it's about the trauma of living in a haunted house, and the impact that has on a family. Obviously you can read things into it, but it doesn't feel like straight allegory
I was just listing stuff that had themes of trauma I guess, but also you just made me realize that Mike Flan basically did the same theme with The Haunting and Oculus
Oh yeah Oculus comes across as kind of a dry run in hindsight. Very good though, as is most of his stuff. The only Flanagan production I hated was Doctor Sleep
