LORCAN FINNEGAN

Irish film director known for visually driven, genre‑tinged films such as Vivarium.

Irish film director. Directed Vivarium (2019) and Without Name (2016). Vivarium (2019) stars Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg.

DeBaser reviews emphasise Finnegan's interest in social critique and surreal, claustrophobic settings. Vivarium is read as a suburban, sci‑fi allegory of conformity and parasitism. The Surfer (reviewed here) is framed as a hallucinatory descent, anchored by a praised Nicolas Cage performance. Both reviews are analytical and appreciative of Finnegan's visual and thematic ambition.

For:Fans of psychological sci‑fi, surreal horror/thrillers, arthouse cinema, and followers of Nicolas Cage performances.
