About David F. Sandberg

David F. Sandberg started with the viral short Lights Out, expanded into a feature about a shadow figure that only moves in darkness. Annabelle Creation gave the Conjuring doll a 1950s orphanage origin. Shazam brought the same efficient staging to superhero comedy.

Shazam Fury of the Gods continued the family-energy story on a larger myth scale. Until Dawn returned Sandberg to horror with a time-loop game adaptation. The films share no continuity, only tight coverage and clear geography. Watching in release order shows how Sandberg keeps set pieces readable as budgets grow.

Good to know

Watch in release order. The horror and superhero halves are separate, so no plot order exists across genres. Horror fans can start with Lights Out and Annabelle Creation, then try Shazam for tone range. Until Dawn works standalone for game fans. A new horror project has been discussed, so this five-film path may extend.
