Movies by Josh Lobo

Josh Lobo is an emerging talent in the horror genre, known for his unsettling, psychologically-driven films that explore the darker corners of the human experience. Rather than relying on cheap jump scares or gratuitous violence, Lobo's work is characterized by an unsettling atmosphere, complex characters, and a subversive approach to conventional horror tropes. His 2019 feature film debut, "I Trapped the Devil," is a prime example of Lobo's distinctive style. Eschewing the standard haunted house or demon possession storylines, the film instead delves into the mind of a man who becomes convinced he has trapped the Devil itself in his home. With its claustrophobic setting, ambiguous narrative, and haunting performance from lead actor AJ Bowen, "I Trapped the Devil" is a cerebral, slow-burn thriller that lingers in the viewer's mind long after the credits roll. Lobo's follow-up, "Night After Night," further solidifies his reputation as a filmmaker to watch. Blending elements of psychological horror and neo-noir, the film centers on an insomniac whose grip on reality begins to unravel as he becomes increasingly obsessed with a mysterious woman. Lobo's precise control of tone and atmosphere, combined with his nuanced exploration of themes like isolation and the nature of identity, make "Night After Night" a captivating and unsettling experience. As Lobo continues to hone his craft, horror fans can look forward to more unsettling, thought-provoking films from this talented director.
