Ronald A. Black

Ronald A. Black, man, this guy’s got a filmography that’s like a fever dream you wake up from and think, “Wait, did that actually happen?” So, Flicker (2024), yeah, that’s his latest wild ride. People are still arguing online about what the ending even meant—was it sci-fi, was it horror, was it just Ronald screwing with us? Honestly, you never quite know with him. Back in 2022, he dropped It Came from Somewhere, which—let’s be real—sounds like every B-movie ever, but he made it work. Aliens, small town paranoia, a dash of weird humor, and everyone running around like they’ve lost their minds. It’s like Ronald took all the best parts of those late-night creature features and cranked the volume way past ten. The practical effects, oddly, didn’t suck. Kind of refreshing in a world that’s drowning in CGI sludge, right? And then there’s Happy Anniversary (2025), which, honestly, is such a curveball. You think you’re getting a sweet relationship movie—nope. It’s offbeat, darkly funny, and kind of makes you question if celebrating milestones is just a distraction from deeper stuff. The dialogue’s sharp, the characters are messy (in the best way), and Ronald’s signature “what the hell just happened” energy is all over it. Bottom line: Ronald A. Black doesn’t do bland. His movies stick with you, for better or weirder. If you’re into films that go off the rails—in a good way—this is your guy.
