Body Horror Revolution
1979–1990
From 1979 to 1990, filmmakers made flesh the battleground of fear, using unsettling practical effects and body transformation to probe anxieties about disease, identity and intrusive technology. Expect Cronenberg’s Videodrome and The Fly or Carpenter’s The Thing to blend psychological unease with grotesque, tactile imagery—visceral, intimate horror that rewards patience but can be hard to watch.
