Ron Karkoska

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Ron Karkoska grasped early what Hollywood spent millions unlearning: the scariest creature is the one the budget refuses to reveal. Metal Man builds dread from a shadow, a clang of sheet metal, and pure conviction. Trained in the unforgiving academy of "we shoot it this afternoon or never," he has never once switched on a lamp — midnight scenes are captured at three in the afternoon, and the sun cooperates. Cannes has said nothing about his work, a silence so vast it echoes like applause.
