The most accurate prediction of the future of the human race.
for Idiocracy (2006)

Quite nice horror film
for Monster Man (2003)
In 2003, Michael Davis, writer and director of a few romantic comedies, tried his luck writing and directing a horror movie. It worked out fairly well. On the upside it has laughs, pretty funny...
