Movies by Lorcan Finnegan

Lorcan Finnegan is an Irish filmmaker whose singular, unsettling vision has made him one of the most captivating new voices in contemporary horror and psychological thriller cinema. Finnegan's work is marked by a dreamlike, unsettling atmosphere, a keen eye for the disturbing undercurrents of suburban life, and a willingness to explore provocative, unsettling themes. His breakout film, 2019's Vivarium, is a chilling allegorical descent into the purgatory of modern domesticity, as a young couple find themselves trapped in an endless, maze-like housing development. Finnegan's masterful use of tone, his ability to unsettle and disorient the viewer, and his willingness to eschew traditional narrative in favor of a more meditative, hypnotic approach have drawn comparisons to the work of filmmakers like Michael Haneke and Yorgos Lanthimos. Finnegan's subsequent films, like the eerie folk horror gem Without Name and the harrowing serial killer thriller Nightmare Radio: The Night Stalker, have further cemented his reputation as a director unafraid to delve into the unsettling corners of the human psyche. With each new project, Finnegan continues to push the boundaries of genre filmmaking, crafting immersive, disturbing worlds that linger in the mind long after the credits roll.
