A fresh screenwriting and directorial voice in the horror-comedy sphere, Christopher Landon leveraged buzz as the writer of the Disturbia spec script and the Paranormal Activity sequels to get a gig in the director’s chair. In the late 2010’s and early 2020’s, Landon developed a calling card with three “slashers-except-it’s-in-a-[blank]” films, with the blanks being: a time loop, a multiverse, and a body-swap comedy. All are charming. Time will tell if he can keep it up.
