Tobe Hooper
Tobe Hooper broke down the doors to the modern slasher film when he unleashed his debut on an unsuspecting world in 1974: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. His next big impact on the moviegoing public was 1982's Poltergeist. He followed with a number of slasher films and directed a couple of television shows. With experience like this, Tobe Hooper should bring a bloody twist to the Taken miniseries universe.
