André Øvredal (born 6 May 1973) is a Norwegian filmmaker. He is best known for directing the films Troll Hunter (2010), The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016), Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019), Mortal (2020) and The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023).

I'm a big fan of Cloverfield. And, obviously, Jurassic Park for the sense of wonder and the scale of the creatures and all that, and Jaws for the way it built tension.
