David Bruckner

But, you know, unfortunately, there have been far fewer female directors, obviously.

But then you have exceptions that, you know, like David Bruckner is a fantastic communicator.

I didn't have any major holes in my understanding of the world that he was creating.

He was just so incredibly thorough and just an incredible communicator.

We thought we were just gonna stay home and make sourdough bread and watch Netflix until we ran out of government funding.

[laughs] It is 2020/2021's The Night House from director David Bruckner, who previously had done The Ritual in 2017.

And, and it's funny that I mention Netflix, and that's a Netflix movie.

Well, it's a movie Netflix bought and slapped their logo on.

But this one I really enjoyed quite a bit.

I find that it was very, very well put together as far as the technical side of things.

We touched on it a little bit with the sound design, the music, the, the visual choices by the DP in David Bruckner.

I- and if you think about his other movies, they're all very visually stunning as well.

We are about to ruin 2017's The Ritual.

I'm also trying to be better about it's directed by David Bruckner, written by Joe Barton, and it is based on a 2011 novel of the same name by Adam Neville.

So based on a book.

I love a movie based on a book.

So I was like, all right, let me see what these two guys have to offer.

Let me see without David Bruckner, what their stuff looks like.

And

yeah, Yeah, it's not like The Night House or Hellraiser.

I mean, it really would've been draining and demoralizing to spend hours every month talking about the variety of dreck that most of these entries have to offer, and plus, we are so busy, you know? How we've got Haddonfield in October, as we do every season.

We, we, we, we still have to cover the Hulu Hellraiser entry by David Bruckner in November.

We've got our Hellraiser rankings in December to boot.

God, I mean, I...

was like, oh my God.

Okay, so the worst part was that, okay, so Bruckner came over to my house and he was like, you know, he's a very good storyteller.

So he was telling me the premise and I was into it.

I was just like, oh, this is really cool.

IMDb.

Yeah, they wrote Siren.

And I think they wrote a lot of other stuff that both Greg Bishop and David Bruckner did after that.

They're very talented writers.

Man, I'll give you another awesome, I mean, just incredible Netflix film.

David Bruckner's The Ritual.

Oh my God.

Guys, if you have not seen this movie, when this episode's done, go on Netflix and watch it.
