Vincenzo Natali

Vincenzo Natali earned my respect with Cube, a film that turns a single bare room into pure dread. Born in Detroit in 1969 and shaped in Toronto, he is the kind of director who trades budget for ideas, and the trade nearly always pays off. From Cypher to Splice, his science fiction and horror works prefer claustrophobic tension over spectacle. I admire filmmakers who refuse to soften their strange obsessions to chase blockbuster money. Natali is exactly that breed, and the slow, intelligent menace of his best work is something I keep coming back to.
