Tim Dennison
Tim Dennison has been around the block in the film world, putting his stamp on some wild projects. Let’s start with Mutant Chronicles (2008) — gritty sci-fi vibes, a future where Earth’s basically a wasteland and, surprise, mutants are out to ruin what’s left of humanity. The film throws you straight into chaotic battles, gnarly tech, and a whole lotta doom, but it’s not all gloom; Dennison manages to keep the action rolling and the visuals popping. You can almost smell the diesel and gunpowder.
Jump to Ra.One (2011), and we’re in a totally different universe. Bollywood meets superhero spectacle. There’s video game madness, a villain literally leaping out of the digital world, and a dad trying to keep up with his own creation gone rogue. Sure, the CGI is a bit of a rollercoaster, but the movie’s got heart, and Dennison’s experience with big set pieces shines through. The whole thing plays like a love letter to over-the-top action, and you can bet there’s a dance sequence in there somewhere.
Now, Saint Maud (2019) — that one hits different. It’s moody, unsettling, and slow-burning, following a hospice nurse convinced she’s on a holy mission. Dennison helps build a world where reality is slippery and faith turns dangerous. The tension creeps under your skin, and everything feels just a little off-kilter. He’s not afraid to get weird or bleak, and the result is haunting. So, from mutants to digital demons to religious obsession, Dennison’s filmography is all over the map, but never, ever boring.
