    It’s worth adding the Philippou brothers to this list. I thought Talk To Me was a very strong debut and Being Her Back fucked me up more than any horror movie since Hereditary.

    I haven’t seen it, but I think it’s funny that Jordan Peele is still getting saddled with “credit” for Him. He put his name all over it, it got critically shat on, and now nobody can tell you who actually directed it.
