DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Karyn Kusama USA

Her films like 'The Invitation' and 'Destroyer' explore social gatherings and interpersonal dynamics that spiral into psychological tension and violence.

 Ari Aster USA

His works 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' transform intimate group settings and ritualistic gatherings into nightmarish experiences that deconstruct community and trust.
