Can a director tell a screenwriter how to rewrite a script?
…and suggest a different film title, or is that rather unusual in the film industry?
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about it.
I recently watched a film on the ARD Mediathek that really annoyed me. Usually, bad films have poor direction and writing, and I don't bother watching it any further. But in this film, the visuals, costumes, makeup, and lighting were relatively well done, so I watched it all the way through. Only the rather poor voice dubbing and the absolutely terrible title gave me a hint of the run-of-the-mill story.
I love gang slashers, but when you can immediately guess who the culprit is because the group almost always stays together and never makes any assumptions about the culprit, it's pretty disappointing.
If someone is shown at the beginning, it's not because they are the perpetrator, and then later in the film there's a photo with another person, where you can then guess that they helped the perpetrator, well.

He can. A production company consists of a creative and administrative department, and the director is the head of the creative department, which is also the screenwriter.
Why do the directors so rare or there are examples where these have done this to improve the movie.
At “Halloween Park” few points would have been enough for a halfway passable story.
I know that writing (even if it is a halfway creative text) is not a pleasant activity, and presume directing is much more pleasant. But if the director is the boss, he should not be afraid to tell the screenwriter he wants to revise the script with him.
(I also wrote directions for hiking trails, and similar on a homepage because the department manager said that. I was so happy that I could do this and not do my administrative work. After a few days, my fingers dropped off from tipping and I had no desire. I couldn’t go to the head of the department and tell him that doesn’t make me enjoy it and I do my administrative work again.)
A director only makes the individual scenes and the cut i make it a film like it has after the script.
