DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ari Aster United States

His films like 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' create deeply unsettling atmospheres where entire communities become vessels for dread and supernatural horror.

 Robert Eggers United States

His meticulous, atmospheric works like 'The Witch' and 'The Lighthouse' trap characters in isolated, supernaturally-charged settings where villages and desolate locations become malevolent presences.
