Daniel Goroshko

Daniel Goroshko, honestly, doesn’t get enough credit for the stuff he’s pulled off in the movie world. Like, you see his name attached to “Knuckledust” (2020)? That’s a wild ride – gritty, weirdly stylish, and packed with enough chaos to keep you glued. The story’s all underground fighting rings, mysterious fighters, and this tangled web of violence that just refuses to let up. People get tossed into these bizarre showdowns, and you’re left wondering who’s actually pulling the strings. Goroshko’s got this knack for making every scene pop – it’s not just mindless action, there’s a twisted sense of humor in there too, almost like the movie knows it’s being a bit ridiculous and just leans right in. Now, jump to “Acidman” (2022), and you’re in a totally different universe. This one’s more of a slow burn, super introspective. It follows this woman reconnecting with her estranged dad, who’s basically off the grid and obsessed with UFOs. Goroshko does something subtle here – the weirdness isn’t in your face, it’s all in the little details. The story’s intimate, kind of raw, and there’s this feeling that maybe, just maybe, we’re all looking for connection in the strangest places. And then, don’t even get me started on “Errementari” (2017). That film’s like a dark fairy tale, full of twisted folklore, demons, and a blacksmith with a seriously bad attitude. It’s creepy, but also weirdly fun, and the visuals are straight-up stunning. Goroshko’s fingerprints are all over these films – from the offbeat tone to the way he plays with genre, you can always spot his style if you’re paying attention.
