Mike Flanagan Recommends This Gothic, Stop-Motion Masterpiece: “Absolutely gorgeous”

If you’re not following Mike Flanagan on Letterboxd, you really should be. Recently, the famed horror director has logged Black Bag, Drop, Mickey 17, and Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar. The man not only has taste, but a pretty diverse palate as well. And honestly, it’s pretty cool to see what one of your favorite filmmakers is watching in real-time. Drop? Haha, I saw that.
While Mike Flanagan doesn’t review every movie he logs, when he does, it’s always worth the read. He’s a big fan of Lake Mungo and Kurosawa’s Pulse, a personal favorite of mine. While he principally logs horror movies, he’s just as keen on genre-adjacent fare, including Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning Pinocchio, now streaming on Netflix.
Per Netflix: During the rise of fascism in Mussolini’s Italy, a wooden boy brought magically to life struggles to live up to his father’s expectations.
