Kurt Ebner

Alright, so Kurt Ebner—yeah, if you’re into dark thrillers and action flicks, his name’s probably popped up in your feed a few times. He’s not one of those loud, in-your-face Hollywood types, but the dude’s been part of some seriously wild projects. Take “Becky” from 2020. That’s the one with a teen girl who’s basically forced to go full John Wick on a bunch of escaped convicts. Brutal, kind of funny in that ‘oh my god, did she just do that?’ way, and Ebner’s fingerprints are all over the funhouse-mirror violence. Not exactly a family picnic, unless your family is a pack of wolves. Then there’s “Cult Killer” (2024). Now, this movie’s got that grimy, slow-burn vibe. Small town, creepy cult, mysterious deaths—classic, right? But it doesn’t play it safe. Ebner’s got this knack for making every character look like they’re hiding something, even the ones you want to root for. There’s this sense that nobody’s getting out clean, and honestly, you’re probably right. The tension just keeps ratcheting up until you’re practically chewing your own nails. Oh, and don’t sleep on “Code Name Banshee” (2022). Espionage, double-crosses, guns blazing—honestly, it’s a wild ride. The action’s tight, the betrayals sting, and Ebner’s work gives the whole thing a gritty, lived-in feel. Nothing feels shiny or fake. If you’re into movies where the stakes are real and the punches actually land, his projects are a safe bet. He’s not Hollywood’s loudest, but he’s definitely one to watch if you like your movies with teeth.
