Jaume Balagueró is a Spanish film director and screenwriter celebrated as a defining voice in modern horror cinema. He co-created the groundbreaking horror series [REC] with Paco Plaza, co-directing the original and its immediate sequel and helping establish one of the genre’s most influential found-footage franchises.

Outside the [REC] universe, Balagueró’s diverse filmography includes The Nameless, Darkness, Sleep Tight, and Muse, showcasing his command of atmospheric tension and psychological dread. Known for blending visceral horror with narrative depth, he remains a seminal figure in Spanish genre filmmaking and a cornerstone of the international horror community.
