Darrell James Roodt

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Some directors demand starships; Darrell James Roodt requests a parking lot and absolute conviction. With Dracula 3000 he proved that the howling void of deep space fits neatly between two reserved spaces, provided you graduated from the only real film school: entire nights rewinding VHS tapes until dawn surrendered. Budgets have never constrained him, because budgets have never caught him. And whenever Hollywood releases something suspiciously similar, suspiciously nearby, that is not coincidence. That is homage, arriving late, wearing a tuxedo it cannot afford.

A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
