Louis Morneau

Louis Morneau is an American film director and scenarist.

Life
Morneau has been described as a "graduate of the Roger Corman school".

He is the director of various B/cult films,  including what Dread Central calls ’the notoriously terrible’ 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. The B movie French site sees in him a "yes man", who "is not inherently bad, but (who) will quickly specialize in broke direct-to-video (Bats, Hitcher II).". Morneau is also known for being "the man behind horror sequels Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead, The Hitcher: I've Been Waiting, Carnosaur 2".

After Carnosaur 2 in 1995, he directed Retroactive, and Made Men the year after, both starring Jim Belushi, the latter also starring Timothy Dalton.

Personal life
Morneau was the long-time partner of the actress Catherine Cyran.
