With"Freaky" and"Happy Death Day," Christopher Landon has established himself as a smart, stylish filmmaker known for genre remixes.Christopher Landon, seen here in front of"Freaky" star Vince Vaughn slashing up a famous scene from John Carpenter's"Halloween."
None of those movies are the ones Landon is best known for. Over the past several years, in addition to scripting four “Paranormal Activity” installments, he has chopped and screwed a number of cinematic classics. With 2017’s “Happy Death Day,” Landon turned “Groundhog Day” into a rollicking slasher romp about a narcissistic sorority snob who gets killed and wakes up in the same dorm room every morning.
“I don’t think that there is a movie worth watching unless you have some kind of a personal and emotional component to follow,” Landon said.Another perk of Landon’s expanding catalog: Each of his movies has been gayer than the last. “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse” featured a, “Happy Death Day” had a closeted student realizing his sexuality, and “Freaky” gives Millie an unabashedly gay BFF who revels in the murderous small-town intrigue.
Around that time, a paparazzo snapped a photo of Landon, who wasn’t yet fully open about his sexuality, kissing his first boyfriend in Los Angeles. The gay offspring of a deceased Hollywood legend with Bible Belt appeal was catnip for the era’s tabloids. That Landon’s mother was a born-again Christian didn’t help.

Director Rose Glass On Her Twisted Horror Film Saint MaudSaint Maud, the debut directorial feature from director Rose Glass, was the last movie I saw in a theater (well, a screening room) before the pandemic began. The film follows Maud (Morfydd Clark), a young nurse with a vaguely traumatic past who is hired to take care of Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), a retired dancer with cancer who stays holed up in a creaky old house in a seaside town.
