Biography

Steven C. Miller is a versatile filmmaker best known for his high-octane approach to action and horror films. He first made a name for himself with the indie horror film Automaton Transfusion in 2007, which was shot on a modest budget in just nine days. The film became a cult hit. He would go on to direct films like The Aggression Scale and Under the Bed, demonstrating his ability to deliver suspenseful films on tight budgets. In 2012, he took on the task of remaking the cult classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. His portrayal of the killer Santa has since become iconic and is a holiday must watch for horror fans to this day.

Over the next few years, Miller proved to be prolific and continued to grow in his work as a genre specialist. He has collaborated with Hollywood heavyweights like Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Nicolas Cage, Dave Bautista, Malcolm Mcdowell and John Cusack. Miller's ability to draw intense performances from his actors also shone through in his work with Aaron Eckhart in the gripping thriller Line of Duty, which was praised for its relentless pace and visceral action sequences.

His latest film, Werewolves, stars Frank Grillo and is set for a theatrical release on December 6. The film features creature designs by Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr., known for their iconic work on the Alien and Predator franchises. The film continues Miller's signature blend of action and horror, cementing his reputation as a director who can seamlessly merge genre elements while keeping audiences engaged.
