In no particular order:
Alex “Civil War” Garland: Annihilation (Adapted by), Men
Jordan “MadTV” Peele: Get Out, Nope, Us, Him
Ari “Eddington” Aster: Hereditary, Midsommar
Robert Eggers: The VVitch, The Lighthouse, Nosferatu (Adapted by)
Zach “WKUK” Cregger: Barbarian, Weapons
David “No, not THAT one” Mitchell: It Follows, Under the Silver Lake (probably more of a 70s paranoid thriller than horror)
Osgood “I mispelled it in the image but I’m not fixing it” Perkins: Longlegs, The Monkey (Adapted by)
Julia “Heir to the Cronenberg kingdom” Ducournau: Raw, Titane
Panos “I did it before it was cool” Cosmatos: Beyond the Black Rainbow, Mandy
I wish they overlapped with my enjoyment of horror, now it doesn’t really scratch an itch for me any more. So now I mostly read the synopses 🤷♂️ - the way the writers intended lmao. But the writing and fact that a lot of these are actually original and don’t just rely on jump-scares and gore is a nice deviation from the early aughts
