RAMROD 109,698 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 As far as name goes, there are big 5 right now: - James Wan (Stygian, Dream Home, Saw, The Conjuring, Insidious, The curse of La Llorona) - Guillermo Del Toro (Cronos, The Strain, The Devil's Backbone, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark) - Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us, Candyman) - Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) - Jennifer Kent (Babadook, The Nightingale) - Andy Muschietti (Mama, It, It: Chapter 2) They elevated horror genre into brown nose and full of style that are welcomed by many more people in turns. But the questions remains: which one of these are your favourite and why?

ladygagafan1234 700 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ari Aster. Hereditary & Midsommar are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daylight Jokers 14,958 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 James Wan for the aesthetics. Jordan Peele for the story. Spoiler I also love Luca Guadagnino's work on Suspiria. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ari Aster and Jordan Peele for sure. Although I would also add Fede Alvarez, who directed the (amazing) Evil Dead remake and Don’t Breathe. I don’t really consider Guillermo Del Toro a horro director btw. More of a dark fantasy one.

voidfigure 1,612 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Guillermo Del Toro is one of my favorite directors ever. Ari Aster is great, but a lot of people misunderstand his style James Wan is a legend (he only produced The Curse of La Llorona and many titles you wrote tho) I need to see a couple more films by Jordan Peele to really express an opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borislshere 53,080 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Lars Klevberg (Child’s Play 2019). One of the nicest most humble guys I know. Jordan Peele(get out, us) Ari Aster Leigh Whannel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,621 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Thanks for this thread! I've been a big Del Toro fan for years (since Pan's Labyrinth) and I am a growing fan of Peele's directorial work outside his comedy. I thought horror-comedy had to be intentionally B and ironic and campy (think Scary Movie, Scream, old school Tyler Perry etc) but Peele brings clever legitimacy to the genre I also didn't know a woman directed The Babadook and Hereditary. That's such a rarity, now I am really interested in seeing those movies. One modern horror movie that had a huge impact on me was 2015's "The VVitch" directed by Robert Eggers. It didn't scare me so much as fascinate me. I kind of wanted to BE Thomasin, being possessed by the devil and dancing nude in the moonlight seemed like an improvement over being an Amish farm peasant to me! He made such great stylistic choices. The whole movie was so artistic. It reminded me of David Lynch. Super excited to watch Eggers' latest effort "The Lighthouse!" My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWitch 720 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I really wasn’t impressed with Ari Aster or any of A24 studio’s horror films honestly, but I’d say same list but swap Ari for Mike Flanagan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 38,467 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Leigh Whanell and James Wan have really made great horror movies but right now I feel the holy trinity is Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar), Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) and Jennifer Kent (Babadook, Nightingale). Jordan Peele deserves the success but I feel like the ones I mentioned have made superior films. As for Guillermo Del Toro, I feel like he’s on another level, finally getting some recognition but has been making amazing stuff for more than 20 years.
