Directors just as flawed as they are brilliant

I gotta disagree with DLB: the guy's got his own style and I think it works for the movies he does. Though it's not what I'd call a "masterpiece," I love Genetic Opera for the Punk-ish tone it conveyed, the same sort of tone I think the Saw movies are wonderful for; DLB's style feels sort of "rebellious" against the mediocrity of the "musical with quirks" or "thriller with philosophy," adding grime to the respective subgenres, whilst not overtly trying at it and looking prententious in the process.
Also, I hear great things about his Mother's Day remake! Not sure of the release status on that though.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
