DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch USA

His masterpiece 'Twin Peaks' and films like 'Blue Velvet' expose the dark underbelly of seemingly idyllic small American towns through surrealist horror and psychological terror.

 Ari Aster USA

His works 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' transform small-town and rural settings into claustrophobic spaces where hidden family secrets and cult menace threaten everything.
