DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Guillermo del Toro → Mexico

His films consistently explore supernatural forces and magical realism as metaphors for human struggle and transcendence, most notably in 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'The Shape of Water'.

Ari Aster → United States

He crafts deeply unsettling explorations of supernatural horror and occult powers that blur the line between psychological terror and genuine otherworldly phenomena in films like 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar'.
