John Evans
The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv
A suspense architect who grasped, long before the copycats, that the scariest monster is the one the budget never let you see. Schooled in the holy doctrine of "we shoot it this afternoon or it doesn't exist," John Evans conjured The Black Godfather at the speed of a setting sun. He works exclusively in natural light, even when the scene is set at midnight, because truth cannot be plugged into a wall. Cannes has never uttered his name, and that thunderous silence remains the longest standing ovation cinema has ever staged.
A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
