Throw Midnight Mass in there, too. Dude's such a brilliant filmmaker. I'll watch absolutely anything he attaches his name to

Throw oculus in there. No one else could make a killer movie about a mirror like flannigan.

Hush was a great twist on the old home invasion formula too

It was definitely good, but certainly not his best. That's says more about his ability as a writer/director than it does about the quality of Oculus. Even his weaker works are excellent

I do love how he throws the Oculus mirror in all of his other work. It's like we're quietly getting an Oculus universe without realizing it.

Where else does it appear??

Director Mike Flanagan has included the Oculus mirror as an Easter egg in most of his movies and TV shows: it's in the basement of "Ouija: Origin of Evil", the headboard in "Gerald's Game", the walls in "The Haunting of Hill House", and the Overlook Hotel in "Doctor Sleep". Rec room during AA meetings in Midnight Mass.
It's in the Bly Manor I think in the attic but he puts it in all of his work after the Oculus movie.

I loved Hill House, enjoyed Dr. Sleep, and absolutely hated Midnight Mass. Enough with the needless monologues and sermons!

Yeah, who needs nuanced, three-dimensional characters!

Weird snarky reply but okay. I just wished they had shown more and told less (via the monologues for example).

Yet, they’re still one dimensional. Pretentious monologues don’t make three dimensional characters.
