Louis Morneau is an American film director and scenarist.
Morneau has been described as a "graduate of the Roger Corman school".[1]
He is the director of various B /cult films ,[2] [3] [4] including what Dread Central calls ’the notoriously terrible’[5] Bats , in 1999, a film, however, praised by Mark F. Berry in his book about dinosaur films, in which this author considers that Bats is a ’handsome and misunderstood fifties-monster homage’’, explaining Morneau's personal style by his former career as film editor.[6] The B movie French site Nanarland [fr ] sees in him a "yes man", who "is not inherently bad, but (who) will quickly specialize in broke direct-to-video (Bats , Hitcher II ) .".[7] Morneau is also known for being "the man behind horror sequels Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead , The Hitcher: I've Been Waiting , Carnosaur 2 ".[8]
After Carnosaur 2 in 1995,[9] he directed Retroactive , and Made Men the year after, both starring Jim Belushi , the latter also starring Timothy Dalton .[10]
Morneau was the long-time partner of the actress Catherine Cyran.[11]
