Among horror movie subgenres, body horror is one of the most revolting, with the most prominent offenders standing the test of time as delightfully disgusting films. Body horror is a term that encompasses a wide range of spooky subjects, from nauseating inhuman transformations of the flesh to traditional blood and gore rendered in increasingly creative ways.
9 Tetsuo: The Iron Man Melds metal with flesh in a garish union As disturbing as biological transformations can be, Tetsuo: The Iron Man unleashes the full force of artificial machinery into the human form, to twisted results. The fever dream narrative begins with an unnamed white collar protagonist, simply referred to as"the salaryman", who performs a hit-and-run on a strange figure obsessed with grafting metal to his flesh.
7 The Brood Links body horror to mental health A potent blend of psychological horror and body horror, The Brood manages to touch on fears of every kind while navigating its dark premise. Another one of David Cronenberg's unsurprisingly dominant body horror features, The Brood follows a mentally tortured woman who is left in the clutches of a strange psychiatrist by her ex-husband following an incident in which their child was injured.
5 Videodrome A surrealist masterpiece with accurate claims about the future Cronenberg's first major cinematic outing, Videodrome proved for the first time why the legendary director's name deserved to become synonymous with body horror. The movie follows the exploits of the CEO of a small-time UHF cable channel who stumbles upon a broadcast of snuff films that showcases vile and intense acts of violence.
