★ FEATURE
Biography
David Bruckner crafted cult horror across indie and studio projects. Born in 1978, the American director, producer, screenwriter, and editor co-wrote and co-directed The Signal (2007) alongside Jacob Gentry and Dan Bush—a time-loop sci-fi horror that built his reputation in genre circles. He then co-wrote and directed "Amateur Night," the opening segment of the V/H/S anthology (2012), which became a calling card for atmospheric dread. His solo directorial work includes The Ritual (2017), a creature-horror feature that expanded his reach, and The Night House (2020), a grief-haunted supernatural film that earned broader critical recognition. As a screenwriter, producer, and editor, Bruckner blends multiple roles in his projects, a practice rooted in independent filmmaking's self-sufficiency demands. A Capricorn with life-path 9 (completion and universal service), he gravitates toward horror narratives that bind intimacy and dread. US-based throughout his career, Bruckner has remained active in both genre and prestige horror spaces.
