Roger Wood

Roger Wood’s filmography might not stretch for miles, but the guy’s got a knack for picking projects that stick with you. Kick things off with Wake Before I Die (2011)—a weird, slow-burn indie that messes with your head in the best way. It’s got this whole small-town preacher vibe, but then stuff goes sideways fast, and suddenly you’re questioning if anyone in this town is actually sane. The tension’s thick enough to cut with a butter knife. Jump forward to Cell Count (2012), and honestly, this one amps up the weirdness. Imagine waking up in a grimy medical facility with a bunch of strangers, and the only way out is to take part in some freaky experiment. The suspense just keeps building, and the whole thing’s drenched in paranoia. There’s body horror, plenty of gross-out moments, and you never really know who to trust. It’s the kind of film that crawls under your skin and stays there. Then there’s The Weather Outside (2015), which is a complete left turn compared to the other two. It’s got noir vibes, a little bit of mystery, and a surprisingly punchy emotional core. The story circles around a down-on-his-luck guy tangled in a web of secrets and regret, and it keeps you guessing right up until the credits roll. It’s moody, a bit bleak, but super compelling—kind of like a rainy day you can’t look away from. Wood’s not the flashiest name out there, but he brings a certain edge to every movie, making each story feel just a little off-kilter.
