DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ari Aster United States

His films explore psychological and supernatural awakening through ritualistic horror and existential dread, particularly in Hereditary and Midsommar.

 Guillermo del Toro Mexico

He masterfully blends magical realism with supernatural awakening, using fantastical creatures and otherworldly settings to explore human transformation in films like Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water.

 David Lynch United States

His surrealist narratives create unsettling supernatural awakenings that blur reality and the subconscious, most notably in Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks.
