My Take
Fred Dekker is a filmmaker I respect far more than his box office ever rewarded. Night of the Creeps and The Monster Squad are masterclasses in blending horror with genuine comic heart, and his partnership with Shane Black gave those scripts a snap that still lands decades later. Born in San Francisco in 1959, he came up in the gloriously unpolished 1980s, and his films carry that handmade, affectionate energy. RoboCop 3 may have bruised his career, but cult devotion is the most durable kind of fame, and Dekker has earned it. I admire artists who keep chasing their odd, specific visions regardless of trends.
