My Take
David Slade is one of the most quietly fearless directors working, and I respect how unafraid he is of tonal extremes. From the claustrophobic dread of Hard Candy to the mainstream spectacle of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, then into the prestige unease of Breaking Bad, Hannibal, American Gods and Black Mirror, he keeps proving the same instinct: he knows how to make an image uncomfortable. His roots in commercials and music videos show in that obsessive visual craft. I tend to trust directors who can disturb you without raising their voice, and Slade, the Sheffield Hallam-trained Englishman, has built a career on exactly that controlled darkness.
