DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries and films obsessively explore isolated wilderness, human struggle against nature, and the Alaskan frontier's psychological toll, as seen in 'Grizzly Man' and 'Into the Abyss.'

 John Carpenter United States

His visceral horror and survival films set in desolate, frozen landscapes capture the paranoia and isolation of frontier life, most notably in 'The Thing' set in Antarctica.
