DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Joe Lynch USA

His surrealist horror aesthetic, particularly in Eraserhead and Twin Peaks, creates deeply unsettling imagery of corrupted innocence and carnival-like dread.

 Ari Aster USA

Hereditary and Midsommar employ grotesque ritualistic imagery and disturbing tonal shifts between whimsy and horror that evoke demonic perversion of celebration and community.
