Brandon Cronenberg
Starting with our leading example, the younger Cronenberg has Infinity Pool coming to theaters today after its Sundance debut; his resume of boundary-pushing horror also includes 2020’s Possessor and 2012’s Antiviral. His father, veteran filmmaker David Cronenberg, set the standard for the body-horror genre and has brought us such squishy classics as Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, Dead Ringers, and last year’s Crimes of the Future, as well as acclaimed dramas like A History of Violence and Eastern Promises. He’s also an actor, popping up in places as delightfully unexpected as Jason X and Star Trek: Discovery.
