British-born horror director Peter Strickland was featured at the 2019 Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), bringing his full complement of films, including four features of his own and a number of works by other directors who inspired him. Having more or less grown up with his films, I was delighted to meet him. Polite and easy-going, it’s hard to imagine this is the man responsible for a number of intensely dark horror films. Still, it’s easy to see why audiences are drawn to his filmography: each film is unique, layered with thoughtful images and haunting sound design.
