DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Guillermo del Toro Mexico

His films like 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'Hellboy' weave underworld mythology and dark fantasy into visually stunning explorations of supernatural realms and chthonic forces.

 Darren Aronofsky United States

His work, particularly 'Black Swan' and 'The Fountain,' descends into psychological underworlds and mythological cycles that blur the boundaries between reality and infernal realms.
