Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: “Serious” Directors Who Should Take A Stab At Horror

If you haven't noticed yet, Remy and I are dreamers. It's not that we can't be excited about what we already have, but when the creative juices start flowing, it's much easier to write about what might await. We've mixed and matched our favorite horror films, talked about what directors we'd love to see working on an anthology film, we've predicted outcomes - it's all about having fun. Lucky for us, the horror genre gives plenty of opportunities for such fun, and it also makes us wonder - why do some directors stay completely away from horror? Because it tends to become vile, disgusting, exploitative, and sometimes repulsive? Probably - but what if some virgin directors leapt into the blood-filled deep end of the horror pool?

Remy – Michel Gondry

Recommended Videos

Visually speaking, there are no other directors alive quite like Michel Gondry. Best known for the brilliant Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (and his countless, mind bending music videos), Gondry has a way of making impossible dreams that you wouldn’t even be able to explain into actual cinematic shots. The Science of Sleep is another one of his (under-appreciated) gems, and it shows that he has an eye that would lend itself to bizarre horror quite well. Think of a movie like Hausu. Now imagine a remake by this guy. See, I am onto something.

Again, handing Gondry a slasher movie would most likely be a mistake. That would not challenge him enough. Instead, hand him a movie with multiple worlds, and crazy, tentacled creatures crawling from a glowing abyss. Think of the insanity of a Troma film, as if it was done by Baz Lurhmann, and you have a perfect idea for what I am selling.

Also, I think Gondry would do a Cthulhu movie better than anyone.

No really, I mean that.
