Dan Golden

Dan Golden’s filmography is this wild little treasure chest most folks haven’t even peeked inside. So, let’s get into it. First up—Broke Sky (2007). Man, if you’ve never seen two guys get tangled up in a mess over dead animals and even deader secrets, you’re missing out. It’s all about these county workers in rural Texas, just trying to do their grim job, but of course, one bad decision leads to another, and suddenly, you’ve got small-town noir that’s as gritty as the dirt they shovel. There’s tension, there’s dark humor, and it’s the kind of movie that leaves you feeling a little uneasy about what might be buried in your own backyard. Then you jump to Dire Wolf (2009) and, honestly, this one’s a trip. Think cheesy horror but with a giant prehistoric wolf running around causing absolute havoc. The military, some clueless locals, and a ton of chaos—it’s classic creature-feature stuff. You’re not here for Oscar-worthy dialogue, but if you want to watch people get chased by a massive, genetically resurrected beast, hey, it delivers. It knows what it is and just leans into the madness. Saturday Night Special (1994) rounds it out, and this one’s got old-school crime drama written all over it. Guns, desperation, and the kind of characters who can’t seem to catch a break. It’s rough around the edges, sure, but there’s something raw about it—like flipping channels at 2 a.m. and finding something you didn’t know you needed. Golden’s stuff is a little off the beaten path, but that’s what makes it fun.
