David Willis

David Willis, a name that might not ring bells for everyone, but horror fans? Yeah, they know. The dude’s got his fingerprints all over “House of the Witchdoctor” from 2013, which, if you haven’t seen it, is this gritty, grindhouse-style flick that loves to punch you in the face with gore and weirdness. Imagine a classic home invasion story, but then it takes a left turn into truly messed-up territory—think freaky rituals, twisted revenge, and a cast of characters with more issues than Vogue. The pacing is nuts, jumping from creepy slow-burn to full-on chaos, and the whole thing just oozes this old-school, grimy horror vibe. It’s not exactly subtle, but that’s kind of the fun, right? Then there’s “Salvation by Blood” from 2010. This one’s a wild ride, too. It leans way harder into cult territory, playing with the whole good-versus-evil thing but refusing to give you easy answers. Lots of religious symbolism, messed-up family dynamics, and, honestly, some moments that make you squirm in your seat. Willis doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable stuff—there’s blood, betrayal, and a bunch of people making terrible decisions. Both films are pretty unapologetic with their violence and moral ambiguity, which is probably why they’ve picked up a bit of a cult following. If you’re into horror that doesn’t play by the rules, his movies deliver the goods, no question.
