Christopher Spare
Christopher Spare is one of those names you stumble upon and think, “Wait, where do I know him from?” Turns out, he’s the kind of filmmaker who jumps headfirst into projects that don’t exactly follow the usual Hollywood playbook. People might remember him from “Swamp Zombies 2” (2018), which, let’s be honest, gives off serious B-movie horror vibes—think low-budget, all-in, and not afraid to get a little weird with its undead chaos. The film’s got that midnight-movie energy: cheesy one-liners, guts splattering everywhere, and a cast that looks like they’re having the time of their lives running from, well, swamp zombies. Spare’s influence is all over it—from the frantic pacing to the unapologetic gore, you can tell the guy actually loves the genre, flaws and all.
A bit earlier, Spare was part of “Of Starlight” (2011). Now, this one’s got a totally different feel. Way more dreamy, sort of sci-fi mixed with indie drama. It’s the kind of movie that takes its time, letting you wander through moody landscapes and cryptic dialogue. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re into existential questions and cosmic loneliness, it hits the spot. Spare doesn’t do things halfway—whether he’s knee-deep in zombie guts or floating through outer space, his movies have their own kind of unpolished charm. He’s not mainstream, but honestly, that’s what makes his work stand out.
