Mike Flanagan Is Producing a Hoarder Horror Movie With a Killer Cast
Why This Matters
A short trade item signaling that Mike Flanagan, one of horror's most bankable names, is using his clout to back a first-time-visible filmmaker, Alexandra Magistro, on the hoarder-horror film 'Rot.'

Key Takeaways
- Flanagan is producing 'Rot,' directed by Alexandra Magistro, extending his role as a horror gatekeeper beyond his own directing work.
- Amber Midthunder and Matthew Lillard star, giving the project genre-fan visibility.
