Todor Todorov
Todor Todorov’s filmography reads like a wild ride through the action-packed, the gritty, and the just plain unpredictable. Look at Extraction II (2023)—the sequel nobody saw coming (well, except people who watched the first one, obviously). Todorov brings this raw, kinetic energy to the screen, making you forget you’re just sitting on your couch with popcorn. The stunts? Insane. The tension? Practically oozes from the screen. You can almost feel the sweat, the desperation, the chaos as bullets fly and bodies drop.
Then there’s The Princess (2022), which swerves in a totally different direction. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill fairytale, not by a mile. Imagine a medieval castle under siege, and instead of some damsel waiting to be rescued, you get a princess who literally kicks every adversary in the teeth. Todorov’s style? Gritty close-ups, brutal fights, and a relentless pace that barely lets you breathe. He doesn’t do dainty or delicate—he’s all about flipping the script and turning tropes inside out.
And just when you think you’ve got him pegged, he drops Man with No Past (2025). Sure, it’s not out yet, but the buzz is real. Word on the street is it’s a moody, mysterious plunge into a fractured mind, with Todorov pulling strings behind the scenes to keep you guessing. There’s this sense that nothing’s ever quite what it seems, and every frame is loaded with secrets. Honestly, if you’re hunting for bland films, look elsewhere—Todorov’s stuff packs a punch.
