DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Guillermo del Toro Mexico

His films like 'Pinocchio' and 'Crimson Peak' explore the uncanny intersection of craftsmanship, creation, and supernatural curse through gothic imagery and puppet/doll symbolism.

 Takashi Miike Japan

Known for body horror and surreal narratives, his work delves into the twisted psychology of creation and control, as seen in films exploring artificial beings and obsessive makers.
