DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Christophe Gans France

Blends visceral horror with fantastical imagery and kinetic action sequences.

 Guillermo del Toro Mexico

His filmography obsessively explores supernatural creatures as metaphors for humanity, from Pan's Labyrinth's faun to The Shape of Water's amphibious being.

 David Cronenberg Canada

He pioneered body horror and the blurring of supernatural/biological transformation, making creatures that challenge our understanding of human nature itself.
