Biography
Zak Hilditch is an Australian director and screenwriter born in Perth, Western Australia, on December 5, 1985. He studied film at Curtin University and emerged as a genre filmmaker with a dark, introspective eye. His breakthrough came with These Final Hours (2013), a post-apocalyptic survival drama that established his control of high-stakes, intimate narratives. He adapted Stephen King's 1922 for Netflix in 2017, translating the novella's psychological horror into a claustrophobic period piece. Most recently, he directed We Bury The Dead (2024), continuing his exploration of moral collapse and violence. As a screenwriter and director, Hilditch works across both roles, crafting original stories and adapting literary source material. Born under Sagittarius, his filmography reflects the sign's archetype: bold thematic reach, willingness to explore darkness. Life Path 4 suggests a builder's discipline—his films are architecturally precise in their dread.
