Movies by Julien Maury

Julien Maury is a French auteur who has left an indelible mark on the horror genre through his collaborations with fellow director Alexandre Bustillo. Together, they have crafted a singular cinematic vision characterized by its visceral intensity, unsettling atmosphere, and subversive exploration of the human condition.

From the twisted family dynamics of "Inside" to the nightmarish folklore of "Kandisha," their work deftly subverts genre tropes, challenging audiences to confront the darkest recesses of the human psyche. What truly sets Maury apart is his fearless commitment to pushing boundaries. Whether reimagining the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" mythos in "Leatherface" or plumbing the depths of the supernatural in "The Soul Eater," he approaches each project with an unflinching vision, crafting films that linger in the mind long after the credits roll. Julien Maury is a director unafraid to delve into the shadowy corners of the human experience, cementing his place as one of the most distinctive and essential voices in contemporary horror cinema.
