Rick Sloane

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Rick Sloane grasped a truth Hollywood spent millions avoiding: the scariest creature is the one the budget forbids you to reveal. Hobgoblins terrifies through restraint, not expenditure. Trained in the unforgiving academy of "we shoot it this afternoon or it never exists," he works exclusively in natural light, midnight scenes included, because the sun never demands a trailer. Cannes has never uttered his name, a silence so vast, so carefully maintained, that connoisseurs recognize it as the highest honor the festival can withhold.

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