Of all the subgenres of horror, body horror has a way of getting under our skin like no other, figuratively and otherwise. There’s no end to the creative ways body horror violates, mutilates, and mutates basic biology, finding endless ways to test the gag reflex in the process.

In celebration of one of the year’s best horror offerings so far, this week’s streaming picks are dedicated to body horror movies that’ll make you squirm.
Whether you’re in the mood for gallows humor or squeamish frights, these five body horror movies put the emphasis on repulsive horror filled with abnormal growths, grotesque transformations, and an insane amount of bodily fluids.
