 David Cronenberg Canada

He examines pharmaceutical horror and bodily transformation through experimental science in films like 'Scanners' and 'The Fly,' blending medicine with visceral body horror.

 Gaspar Noé France/Argentina

His provocative works like 'Enter the Void' and 'Climax' use experimental narrative techniques to depict drug-altered states and their catastrophic human consequences.
