David Yarovesky
David Yarovesky’s filmography is kind of a wild ride if you ask me. The guy just doesn’t stick to one genre or vibe—he’s got a knack for dropping audiences into some pretty twisted universes. Take Brightburn, for example. It’s not your typical superhero flick. Nope. Instead of the wholesome “with great power comes great responsibility” thing, you get a kid from another planet who decides, “Eh, I’ll just go full-on nightmare mode.” Watching a Superman origin story flip into horror is honestly kind of genius, and Yarovesky just goes all in with the gore and suspense.
Then there’s Nightbooks, which is, well, totally different. It’s got that dark fairy tale energy—creepy, magical, but almost whimsical enough for younger viewers (if they can handle some goosebumps). The story pulls you into this apartment where stories are currency, and if you don’t keep the witch entertained, you’re toast. The visuals? Seriously cool. Lots of neon, shadowy corners, and a vibe that’s equal parts scary and fun.
And now, with Locked set for 2025, people are buzzing. Nobody really knows what to expect because Yarovesky just likes to keep folks on their toes. One minute you’re watching childhood nightmares come to life, the next you’re in a neon-lit labyrinth with witches. The dude’s got style, and he’s not afraid to get weird with it. If you’re tired of predictable movies, his stuff is basically the antidote.
