Where I discovered its from the dude who directed the one killer elevator movie, Quarantine (the inferior American Rec remake), and As Above, So Below.
It’s actually brothers, John and Drew Dowdle. They’re also responsible for this piece of xenophobic trash:
When Eli Roth makes horror movies about foreigners, he suggests they will kidnap, torture, and eat you. Which is scary and all, but why invent scary things that happen in foreign countries when plenty of scary stuff actually happens? That’s what...
Est. reading time: 3 minutes
I think they’re most notable bit of work is the Waco miniseries with Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh. Which I also think is trash, but totally worth seeing for the Kitsch Factor:
I just finished watching this. Did any of y’all see it? It was an amazing Taylor Kitsch performance, and now I’m a bigger fan than ever. But good lord, what a godawful ret-conning of a) the Branch Davidians as a peaceful and friendly Bible study group who just want to get along and b) the FBI and ATF as a bunch of sneering villains who have no experience with stand-offs involving hostages. What the heck kind of script was that?
Oh, I see. It was based on a book written by a Branch Davidian…
