DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Brian De Palma → United States

His psychological thrillers like 'Body Double' and 'Dressed to Kill' obsessively deconstruct voyeurism and obsessive pursuit through innovative cinematography and unreliable perspectives.

Powell and Pressburger → United Kingdom

'Peeping Tom' remains one of cinema's most unsettling explorations of obsessive watching and stalking, examining the voyeuristic gaze of both killer and audience.

Ari Aster → United States

'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' create intense atmospheres of being watched and trapped, with characters followed and hunted within claustrophobic social and supernatural spaces.
