Body horror? Sounds like a premise for an early Cronenburg movie.

Dunno.

It directly references David Cronenberg. But it's not as heavily influenced by David Cronenberg as most people seem to suggest.

I mean it's in there. But so is Re-Animator, Basket Case, and (quite a lot of) Society. It's a bit of a compendium of body horror stuff... And there's nods to The Elephant Man and Carrie thrown in for good measure too.

If none of that sounds enjoyable to you, I'd probably skip it. But it's not heavy.

Cronenburg liked this movie a lot, as well as Titane, the French movie from the year before. Both are great.

Are you grossed out by Body Horror films? If so, you might be by this film as well.

It's a great film, though, so if you can stomach the gross stuff, it's well worth a watch.

The "horror" of this film reminded me a bit of The Fly (1986) with Jeff Goldblum. It starts of quite normal and then it gets weirder and weirder.
