Ben Baudhuin

Ben Baudhuin, man, this guy’s fingerprints are all over some wild rides in cinema. You might not see his name on a flashy marquee, but trust—he’s behind the scenes on movies that slap you awake. Take “Happy Death Day 2U” for example. That flick is a nutty blend of slasher chaos and sci-fi loops, and Ben was right there, making sure the madness looked slick. It’s got this whole “Groundhog Day but with murder” vibe, and somehow, it works. You’re watching and thinking, “Wait, are we laughing or screaming right now?” That’s the kind of tension he helps build. Then there’s “Hardcore Henry.” Oh boy. If you’ve never seen that one, buckle up. It’s shot entirely from the first-person POV, like you’re stuck inside a video game after chugging too many energy drinks. The action never lets up, and Ben’s touch is all over the kinetic, in-your-face style. It’s rough around the edges in a way that feels deliberate, like you’re getting tossed around in a really epic brawl. Seriously, not for the faint of heart. And don’t sleep on “Colossal.” That movie is just…weird in the best way. Anne Hathaway? Check. Giant monster in Seoul? Also check. But the real story is about personal messiness, addiction, and trying not to destroy everything you touch. It’s clever, emotional, and Ben’s work behind the camera helps ground all the wildness. Bottom line: he’s the kind of guy who helps movies feel like actual experiences, not just stories on a screen.
