      Alejandro Amenábar

      Alejandro Amenábar

      Highest Rated: 96% Butterfly (1999)

      Lowest Rated: 14% Regression (2015)

      Birthday: Mar 31, 1972

      Birthplace: Santiago de Chile, Chile

      With only a pair of thrillers under his belt, Chilean-born filmmaker Alejandro Amenabar (he and his family fled the dictator Pinochet in 1973 and settled in Spain) was already considered a wunderkind in Spain when he successfully crossed over to English-language films with the subtle and atmospheric horror film, "The Others" (2001). As part of an invasion of Latin filmmakers-which includes Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Alfonso Cuaron, and Walter Salles-Amenabar has added to an impressive array of foreign films that were some of the best in the world. With his skillful use of thought-provoking suspense and surprising twists, Amenabar emerged as an heir to the master, Alfred Hitchcock.
