It’s Mike Flanagan time again… even if it’s under
less-than-ideal circumstances. When I reviewed Ouija: Origin Of Evil, I
mentioned that Flanagan had three films released this year. Well, that may be
technically true, but his second feature Before I Wake doesn’t have an
Australian release date as of writing this, meaning that it isn’t eligible for a review
just yet. Rather than deal with another quasi-ethical dilemma like when I
looked at Vaxxed, I’m going to play it safe this time around. That, and it’s
apparently his weakest effort to date, and in an admitted fanboy-influenced
thought pattern, I want to keep my pristine impression of the man’s filmography
intact for as long as I can. Especially when the man is capable of making films
like this.
