To me most of these are okay. I feel like Alex Garland made Men to do social commentary like Peele. I feel like Aster made the aptly named Midsommar to do folk horror like Eggers. I think The VVitch is the best of Eggers' portfolio. The Lighthouse was too indulgent and Nosferatu felt too commercial. I enjoyed the novelty of Weapons but it felt very much like an Aster movie. It Follows predates a lot of movies on this list and I like UtSL just for the conspiracy stuff. I enjoy Perkins "Gretel and Hansel" way more than longlegs and I think he works better as a director than a writer.
I have not seen Raw or Titane, but I hear Doucournou is good with body horror. Beyond the Black Rainbow is another movie that's older than the rest and I liked it. Stranger Things ripped it off so hard I'm shocked there was never a lawsuit. It's much more experimental and stylistic than Stranger Things. Mandy was a dud imo. But we have to keep Nic Cage employed so I understand.
