James Morley

James Morley’s filmography is a bit of a wild ride, honestly. He’s popped up in some seriously creepy and offbeat stuff. Let’s start with The Captive (2014). That one’s a real head-spinner—a thriller that just kind of messes with your sense of who’s in control and who’s lost. The movie winds through this icy Canadian landscape where a family’s torn apart after their daughter vanishes. People act weird. Secrets bubble up. And Morley’s there, weaving into the tension. It’s not your average missing-person story. There’s a big, dark undercurrent that just won’t let up. Then you’ve got Maps to the Stars (2014), which—wow, talk about Hollywood’s weird side. This film's got that acid, satirical vibe, poking at celebrity culture and all the twisted stuff that comes with it. Morley’s role fits right into David Cronenberg’s bizarre, unsettling world—everyone’s got secrets, there’s a lot of broken dreams, and pretty much nobody’s truly happy. It’s messy, it’s glitzy, and it’s got this biting edge that sticks with you longer than you expect. And don’t forget Mama (2013). Straight up, that one’s nightmare fuel. Haunted houses, creepy kids, and a ghostly presence that’s all kinds of wrong. The story follows two orphaned sisters who turn up after vanishing for years, with something...not quite human watching over them. Morley’s part helps amp up the unease, and you never really feel safe. If you like your movies with a good dose of the supernatural and some serious shivers, this one’s worth a watch. So, yeah, Morley’s had his hands in some wild projects—definitely not the usual Hollywood fare.
