"When it comes to deciding what to watch, I've never been one for directorial loyalty. Some of the best movies I've ever seen have been the ones I stumbled across when I let curiosity be my guide, never minding whether or not the art that moved me fits perfectly into a filmmaker's pre-existing oeuvre. Filmmakers, too, seem to get distracted by their own curiosity sometimes, and these one-off experiments often lead to some of the best entries in their filmographies.
One of the more interesting examples of this serendipitous side quest is when a director who's not known for horror dips their toes in the water of the genre, trying their hand at thrills and chills instead of romance, drama, comedy, or action."
