My Take
André Øvredal is a director I keep an eye on because his range is genuinely unusual. He went from the cult found-footage charm of Trollhunter to the claustrophobic dread of The Autopsy of Jane Doe, then a studio adaptation in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and the gothic horror of The Last Voyage of the Demeter. That's a filmmaker who can scale from scrappy Norwegian indie to Hollywood machinery without losing his instinct for atmosphere. The Bendy and the Ink Machine adaptation he's attached to feels like a natural fit. To me he's proof that horror craftsmanship travels, and I'm curious where Passenger takes him next.
