DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

Paco Plaza Spain

Immersive found-footage horror that weaponizes confined spaces into suffocating instruments of terror.

David Cronenberg Canada

His body horror films obsessively explore viral contamination and biological transformation as metaphors for loss of bodily autonomy.

Andrzej Żuławski Poland

His visceral, fever-dream cinema depicts psychological and physical contamination as existential threats that consume identity and relationships.
