Tim Fehlbaum

Tim Fehlbaum, born in 1982 in Basel, Switzerland, is that kind of filmmaker who doesn’t just direct for the sake of it—he digs deep, pushes boundaries, and honestly, you can tell he’s obsessed with atmosphere. He first grabbed attention with “Hell” in 2011—a post-apocalyptic thriller that’s basically a fever dream of sun-baked landscapes and desperate survivors. The movie’s got this raw, gritty energy that you don’t see every day. People either loved it or felt mildly traumatized, but that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? Fast forward to “Tides” (2021), or “The Colony” depending on where you caught it, and you’ll notice Tim leveling up big time. He’s still playing with bleak futures, only now he’s throwing in all these questions about humanity, survival, and what we’re willing to become when the world turns to dust. The visuals are wild—think eerie wastelands and flooded ruins, with a mood that lingers long after the credits roll. And then, there’s “September 5” (2024), which people are buzzing about even before it’s out. Honestly, the guy’s got a knack for creating these tense, claustrophobic worlds that make you squirm, but you can’t look away. It’s not just about suspense or action—Fehlbaum’s stories dig into the ugly, complicated stuff people face when there’s nowhere to hide. If you’re into sci-fi that’s a little messed up (in a good way), or just want to see a director who refuses to play it safe, Tim’s filmography is worth the dive.
