Marcin Wrona, director of the film "Demon," was found dead in a hotel room in Poland last Friday night.

No details about the nature of his death have been released, and local police are currently investigating.

According to Deadline, Wrona's death comes after his film recently debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this year and had a strong welcome by the audience. The film itself has been described a leading voice in the authoritative direction horror films will be made in the future.

TIFF released a statement in regards to his death:

"We are all deeply shocked and saddened at the news of the sudden death of Marcin Wrona. His film 'Demon' truly marked the emergence of a strong new voice on the world cinema stage. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family, especially his wife and producing partner, Olga Szymanska, who was with him at the premiere in Toronto."

The film itself, "Demon," has historical significance tied to it and has been described as an unconventional approach to Poland coming to terms with the Holocaust. As the title suggests, it follows an evil spirit that plagues the living. The demon is actually a "dybbuk," which is a Jewish term for the spirit of a dead person who haunts the living, according to their mythology.

Wrona recently married Olga Szymanska, who also served as a producer for the TIFF film. After its premiere in Toronto, the film is making its way across the world to different film festivals and receiving loads of critical and audience approval.

He was born in southern Poland in 1973 and quickly rose to prominence in the country, referred to by many as one of the brightest talents to emerge from that generation of filmmakers.
