The cosmic horror genre has become a recent trend in horror films, giving leeway to be abstract and surreal. Cosmic body horror movies bring the vibes and the aesthetics to create more than just your run-of-the-mill slashers or creature features. They are entwined with the universe making the horror happen, allowing audiences to escape and suspend their disbelief.
With flora and fauna undergoing grotesque and unsettling changes, “The Shimmer” quickly becomes a study of how the laws of nature can be altered. It serves as a source of horror and revulsion for the characters and the audience alike. Surrounding it all in the atmosphere of dread creates unease and tension from the outset, giving complex ideas about identity and change.
Most horror fans are familiar with The Fly using groundbreaking practical effects, which are vividly able to depict Brundle’s metamorphosis. Along with Goldblum’s sympathetic performance, it allows for the combination of visceral body horror with emotional depth, making it a powerful exploration of the consequences of unchecked scientific experimentation.
The movie is truly terrifying, as characters experience grotesque and painful mutations, such as a mother and her son being fused together, leaving the family to wonder what they can do to save themselves. Not only exploring the fear of the unknown inherent in cosmic horror but also delving into the visceral terror of body horror, making the alien presence not just a threat to the mind, but to the very flesh and physical integrity of its characters.

The depiction of the alien’s ability to grotesquely assimilate and mimic other organisms results in some of the most inventive body horror scenes in cinema. With transformations that are both shocking and deeply unsettling. And even though you never see the monster, it still remains one of the scariest horror movies.
