Horror Film Directors 2027: Radio Silence and Lee Cronin
For 2027, the horror film directors users anticipate are Radio Silence and Lee Cronin. Radio Silence, the directing trio of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella, is expected to release The Mummy in 2027, while Cronin is linked to the same franchise with Mummy 4 that year. No other directors came up consistently, since most announcements focus on films rather than filmmakers. Radio Silence drew the clearest excitement, with one user calling The Mummy their most hyped upcoming release. Cronin arrives off Evil Dead Rise, and a user who mentioned seeing his take on The Mummy said they loved it. These two names carry almost all of the director-level buzz around 2027 horror. The wider 2027 slate worries some users. Many are concerned that sequels, remakes, and prequels dominate the lineup, with one describing it as feeling like someone threw darts at a board of ip they already own. Others want original horror instead, with one asking why no one will pick up one of the many horror books already out there and adapt it.
