Lars Jacobson

Lars Jacobson’s filmography is kind of a wild ride, honestly. He’s not exactly a household name, but if you’ve ever been sucked into a late-night horror binge, chances are you’ve stumbled across his work. Take “Day of the Dead: Bloodline” from 2017—yeah, it’s a remake, and yeah, zombie fans can be brutal, but the movie’s got its own gnarly charm. There’s a military bunker, a virus outbreak, and a whole mess of flesh-hungry undead. The main character, Zoe, is a med student who’s just trying to keep it together while her past (and the apocalypse) comes knocking. It’s bloody, it’s chaotic, and honestly, it doesn’t hold back on the gore. Then there’s “Baby Blues” from 2008, which is somehow even more unsettling. Based on a true story, it ditches the zombies and dives into the horror of human psychology. A young mom, totally overwhelmed, just snaps—the kind of story that sticks with you and makes you double-check your locks at night. Jacobson co-wrote this one, and the tension just ramps up scene by scene. And don’t forget “Novocaine” (2025), which people are buzzing about, though details are still under wraps. If his track record is anything to go by, it’s probably not for the faint of heart. Jacobson’s got this knack for digging into the ugly side of human nature, whether it’s monsters outside or monsters within. His movies might not win over everyone, but they definitely leave a mark—sometimes in the form of nightmares.
