Scott Derrickson is a renowned American filmmaker, celebrated for his exceptional direction of numerous spine-tingling horror films, including but not limited to, the thought-provoking Deliver Us from Evil, the visually striking Hellraiser: Inferno, the hauntingly intense Sinister, and the chillingly realistic The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
In addition to his impressive portfolio of horror films, Derrickson has also demonstrated his versatility as a director by tackling the superhero genre, notably with the critically acclaimed Doctor Strange, a visually stunning and intellectually stimulating film starring the talented Benedict Cumberbatch.
Notably, Derrickson initially agreed to direct the sequel to Doctor Strange, titled Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but ultimately decided to step down from the project, paving the way for the highly acclaimed director Sam Raimi to take the reins and bring his unique vision to the film.
