Body horror is a very unique subgenre of the larger horror umbrella, as it tends to focus on a more personal type of terror that audiences might be able to relate to, albeit in the most grotesque ways possible. Although many of the best body horror stories contain some degree of science fiction or fantasy, they often relate to very real human feelings about being uncomfortable within one’s own body.

Nance stars as the hapless man Henry, who is forced to care for his mutant child after his wife leaves him unexpectedly.
4 ‘Videodrome’ Directed by David Cronenberg Videodrome is among the most urgent and terrifying films that Cronenberg has ever made, as it contains a message about the terror of media sensationalism and the cult of politically motivated violence that has sadly become more relevant than ever before.
The Fly works as a tragedy because of how charismatic Goldblum is in the earlier scenes in the film, making it all the more tragic when he gradually begins to lose all sense of humanity. Although the Academy Awards have been notoriously biased against nominating performances in horror films, it is still very upsetting that Goldblum’s career best performance did not earn him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
✕ Remove Ads Kurt Russell has become a regular collaborator of Carpenter’s for a reason, as he is able to bring a sense of urgency, and never treats the material with anything less than complete and utter respect, despite the fact that is technically classified as “genre fare.” The terrific side performances from Wilford Brimley and Keith David ensure that The Thing is secretly one of the most well-acted horror films of all-time, and certainly one of the best of the 1980s.
