DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hou Hsiao-hsien Taiwan

His films use ghostly imagery and haunting presences to explore memory, loss, and the invisible weight of history on the present.

 Guillermo del Toro Mexico

He seamlessly blends ghost imagery with Gothic aesthetics to examine trauma, repression, and the supernatural as metaphors for political and personal haunting.
