Curated collection

Curated Body Horror Movies

Body horror draws its scares from the body turning against its owner, whether through disease, parasites, surgery or a change no doctor can explain. Cronenberg called it "the new flesh." That phrase still holds. Curated body horror covers transformation, mutation, and the deeply unsettling idea that the body you're living in isn't entirely yours. These films get under the skin, sometimes literally.
