Javier Hernáez

Javier Hernáez, not exactly a household name—yet, but honestly, the guy’s been weaving through some wild projects. Planet 51? That animated flick with aliens running around in suburbia, flipping the whole “humans invade” story on its head? He had his fingerprints all over that. It’s got this tongue-in-cheek humor, a bunch of pop culture nods—you’ll spot them if you’re paying attention. The kind of movie that’s got layers, you know? Kids laugh at the goofy aliens, adults catch the jokes hidden underneath. Clever stuff. Then there’s [Rec] 4: Apocalipsis. Man, if you’re into horror, especially the nerve-wracking, claustrophobic kind, this one’s for you. Think zombies, but not your slow lumbering types—these things sprint, snarl, and corner you in tight spaces. The film picks up right where the chaos left off in the earlier movies, just more raw, more intense. Hernáez, whether behind the scenes or right in the thick of the action, brought that gritty energy fans crave. It’s grimy, it’s relentless, and honestly? It doesn’t let you breathe. And hey, That Christmas (2024)—he’s not just sticking to one genre, is he? Swapping horror for holiday warmth, this one’s got the spirit of family chaos, last-minute miracles, and a bit of that feel-good magic everyone needs when it gets cold outside. It’s all about those tangled relationships, unexpected turns, and somehow—despite everything—things working out. Hernáez keeps moving from one vibe to another, never really sitting still. Makes you curious what he’s gonna jump into next, right?
