My Take
What I admire most about Pascal Laugier is his refusal to flinch. Born in sunny Vallauris on the French Riviera, he instead makes films that stare directly into human suffering, with Martyrs being one of the most uncompromising horror works of its era. Ghostland and The Tall Man show the same fearless gaze, treating dread as a vehicle for grief and loss rather than cheap thrills. To me, he is less a scaremonger than a serious craftsman testing how much truth an audience can bear. That stubborn integrity is exactly why his name stays with me long after the credits roll.
