Top Five Body Horror Moments in Film History

Episode 55
1h 29m | Jan 19, 2022

On this week’s episode, Corey is joined by capital region filmmaker Kyle Kleege to discuss the genre of body horror. Kyle has a new feature film entitled Earworm that has just entered production so they decided to break down their top five body horror moments ever put to film. 


Corey and Kyle start out by trying to really define what body horror is and what separates it from the horror genre at large (2:23). They then dig into the work of David Cronenberg, a master of the genre and one of their favorite filmmakers (10:45). 


In making their top five lists, Kyle and Corey decided that it would be far too easy to populate their list with the filmography of the elder Cronenberg (although they did allow themselves one), so discussing the master at the top gave them the opportunity to give some shine to some other body horror classics.


This list and these movies are not for the faint of heart so if you’re into the visceral and upsetting world of body horror, listen in to hear which movies they included in their top five (18:00)!
