Nicholas Kaiden (born February 21, 1996) is a Dutch film director, producer, screenwriter, and editor. Nick de Vries, his real name, graduated from two film schools and has a deep affinity for the horror genre, sparked by watching “Ju-on: The Grudge” at the age of eight. Around the same time, he began experimenting with video editing as a hobby, which evolved into a passion for filmmaking. Kaiden’s directing style often delves into psychological tension and visual absurdity.
