Why Neil Marshall Is Perfect For Predators

8 reasons we're glad he's close to signing...



5. No-Holds Barred Mayhem – With An Undercurrent

As Dog Soldiers, The Descent and Doomsday prove, Marshall has made a career out of controlled mayhem.

But he’s also adept at burying deeper themes amid the chaos - he could bring a Chris Nolan-style adult edge to the story's slasher/sci-fi tradition.

“I try to present violence in my films as realistically as I can because of course ultimately it’s there to support a story and things happen in a story for a reason - not just because you want to see what it looks like when a character gets a baseball bat to the face.

“Not that violence isn’t fun, but it can take over a viewers experience. And I’m certainly aware of the larger themes in my films when I make them.”
