DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Fincher USA

His films like *Se7en* and *Fight Club* meticulously examine obsessive, ritualistic violence and its psychological grip on characters and viewers.

 Gaspar Noé France

Works such as *Irréversible* and *Climax* confront audiences with graphic cult-like group violence and collective hysteria through immersive cinematography.

 Takashi Miike Japan

His provocative films like *Audition* and *Visitor Q* explore how violence becomes ritualized within closed groups and cultic belief systems.
