DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
John Carpenter USA

His films like 'The Thing' and 'They Live' explore paranoia and bodily invasion as metaphors for loss of individual identity and autonomy.

 David Cronenberg Canada

He viscerally examines invasion through body horror and mutation, where external forces literally penetrate and transform human flesh in films like 'Videodrome' and 'The Fly'.
