DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Cronenberg Canada

His body horror films like 'Shivers' and 'The Fly' obsessively explore infection, contagion, and biological transformation as visceral metaphors for loss of control.

 Yeon Sang-ho South Korea

His zombie films 'Train to Busan' and 'Peninsula' use viral outbreak as a lens to examine societal collapse, class conflict, and human desperation under pandemic conditions.
