Body Horror

Transformation, infection, contagion, and mutation run rampant in these fleshy nightmares that render the human form unstable, uncanny, and sublimely grotesque. While David Cronenberg established himself as the reigning king of body horror with gloriously gooey, thematically provocative cult favorites like The Brood and The Fly , master directors ranging from Ken Russell ( Altered States ) to Claire Denis ( Trouble Every Day ) to William Friedkin ( Bug ) have each put their own stamp on a genre that posits the body as a site of trauma, desire, and uncontrollable change.
