Programmed April 2025

Directed by David Cronenberg

Gooey, splattery, fleshy nightmares of contagion and transformation, the audacious cinematic transgressions of David Cronenberg—whose latest film, The Shrouds , infects theaters this April—are not so much watched as experienced in a visceral, full-body wave of can’t-look-away revulsion and fascination. These definitive body-horror classics—including the killer-kiddo shocker The Brood , his head-exploding commercial breakthrough Scanners , and the doubly diabolical psychological puzzle Dead Ringers —suggest that perhaps nothing is more terrifying than our own selves.
