DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Karyn Kusama USA

Her film 'The Invitation' and atmospheric work examine psychological dread and hidden dangers lurking beneath social surfaces, similar to cursed pool imagery.

 Ari Aster USA

His meticulous horror direction in 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' creates oppressive, curse-laden environments where water and ritual spaces become sites of supernatural horror.
