DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Claude Chabrol France

His thrillers masterfully depict how vacations and leisure settings expose hidden tensions and moral corruption within families and relationships.

 Jordan Peele USA

He specializes in subverting idyllic vacation scenarios into nightmarish social commentaries, as seen in 'Us' and 'Get Out' where holidays become sites of psychological horror.
