Bloodborne is widely regarded as a masterpiece in action/horror gaming and one of the most beloved games of the last decade. For many, envisioning a movie taking place in its world either invokes excitement and elation or a worrying fear. Most video game movie adaptations completely fail to capture the feel, style, and general plot of the games on which they are based, so, naturally, Bloodborne could end up a festering mess.
Thankfully, there are plenty of working directors that are more than capable of bringing the exciting gothic terror of Yharnam and all of its cosmic horrors to life on the big screen without it resulting in a complete disappointment.
10 David Bruckner
An underrated modern horror director, Bruckner contributed to a few horror anthology movies, directing the twisted opening segment to the original V/H/S which became one of the most memorable in the film, and also a hauntingly visceral one in Southbound.
What makes Bruckner a contender for Bloodborne, though, is The Ritual. The film is about several characters all slowly losing their minds in an isolated forest as they are stalked by a monstrous being, and once the monster is revealed, it is so purely Bloodborne and would absolutely fit in as a boss or large enemy in the game, almost resembling Vicar Amelia. It’s revealed that the beast is a God that worshippers offer sacrifices to, similar to the Old Gods the citizens of Yharnam offer themselves to.
9 Jennifer Kent
Kent burst onto the scene with The Babadook, a modern horror classic, and disturbed audiences with the appalling violence of The Nightingale. A director who clearly understands how to capture the intensity of a character losing grips with reality through trauma and falling deeper into madness and terror, Kent could masterfully showcase the main character of Bloodborne’s deeper descent into depravity by gaining more “insight.” She also knows her way around directing violent encounters and terrifying monster design.
8 Timo Tjahjanto
Probably the director responsible for the most brutal violence on this list, Tjanjanto has directed several horror and action gorefests. The Night Comes For Us is a brutal action-thriller soaked with blood and guts, and his segment featured in V/H/S 2 is probably the most memorable and twisted in the whole movie. He would absolutely bring the visceral combat of Bloodborne to life in grisly fashion, and he would have an absolute blast doing it.
7 Robert Eggers
Eggers has proven himself to be a master of bringing otherworldly folktale-inspired horror to the screen, inspired by classic films of the genre. His two feature films, The Witch and The Lighthouse, as well as the upcoming The Northman, are period-pieces containing supernatural and psychological torment, and the Victorian world of Bloodborne would fit perfectly in with his filmmaking style.
Casting actors who frequent his films, Anya Taylor-Joy as the Doll in the Hunter’s Dream and Willem Dafoe as Gehrman The First Hunter would bring in fans of his other films and surely satisfy players of the game with their resemblances and acting abilities.
6 Karyn Kusama
Displaying her skill in both television and film, Kusama has directed episodes of The Outsider and Halt And Catch Fire and cult-hits movies like the sci-fi actioner Aeon Flux and the comedy/horror romp Jennifer’s Body.
She understands style and flair and could definitely help deliver a take on Bloodborne that feels grounded and thrilling, yet fantastical and stylish. Showing strengths in directing multiple genres, she’s established herself as a director capable of bringing the game’s lore to unseen cinematic heights.
5 Gareth Edwards
A director known for epic beastly sequences in Monsters and Godzilla (2014), as well as massive action setpieces in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Edwards could direct a battle between monsters and hunters effortlessly in a Bloodborne movie.
The giant creatures that he showcases in his films make all the more impact when they are shown in all their epic glory, and the bosses featured in the game would greatly benefit from a tease before having a massive reveal to audiences, such as the Cleric Beast’s roar heard from afar before the intense first encounter even occurs. Just imagine a scene akin to the Darth Vader sequence in Rogue One, but with Father Gascoigne cutting down bloodthirsty Yharnam beasts as he makes his way to the main character.
4 Scott Derrickson
Sinister and Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson is clearly skilled at pants-wetting scares and mind-melting action. The nihilistic terror of Sinister, along with the horrifically designed Bughuul character, fits in with the sheer amount of terrifying monstrosities in Bloodborne, and the psychedelic dimensional action of Doctor Strange would fit right in with the cosmic horror of Bloodborne’s madness-inducing world.
3 Michelle MacLaren
MacLaren has proved her skills in some of television’s most popular series, directing for Game Of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and some of the best episodes of Breaking Bad—for which she received multiple Emmy nominations.
With the number of large crews and talented casts she has worked with, MacLaren is an underrated talent at capturing the intense drama and big-budget action that these series are known for, and Bloodborne would be no exception. Handing her the keys to directing a highly intense, effects-heavy horror action film would feel like a perfect decision.
2 Bong Joon-ho
For a director who literally swept the Academy Awards with a twisted movie about family and class, Bong Joon-ho may seem like too much of an A-list director for a violent and spooky video game movie. But, fans of the filmmaker know him as the talent behind amazing genre films like the star-studded action thriller Snowpiercer and the creature-features Okja and The Host.
He is a director that brings unique and experimental stories to life while always maintaining a dark and weird vibe throughout. Bloodborne would greatly benefit from having an auteur like him to take an already strange story in a never-before-seen angle for a film based on a video game.
1 Guillermo del Tero
Another Oscar winner, but hands down the perfect director for the job, del Tero is widely regarded as the filmmaker to perfectly bring Bloodborne’s horrifying and imaginative monsters to life through practical effects and insane makeup, utilizing brilliant set design to suck the viewer into his world.
A longtime horror fan and a collector of monster paraphernalia, he would absorb himself entirely into the streets of Yharnam and the hellish landscape of the Nightmare Frontier. The creatures of Pans Labyrinth, Hellboy—the 2004 version—and its sequel showcase his potential, and the man even co-directed one of the most terrifying pieces of gaming ever, P.T.
