Most Shocking Body Horrors That Make You Sick (But In a Good Way)
There're many types of horror movies, from ghosts to aliens, but the most sophisticated horror fans choose body horror. We are here for you.
Some people just like being disturbed and that's how you become a horror movies fan. But there's a particular subgenre that's too tough even for some hardcore horror fans – body horror.
Most of you have already heard of The Fly, Videodrome and Eraserhead, we offer some newer titles that you might have missed.
Sick of Myself (2022)

Sick of Myself is a Norwegian body horror/psychological drama that's extremely violent and creepy, but it scares with ordinary things that gradually begin to radiate a threat. Throughout the movie, you will watch the confrontation between two lovers who are willing to do anything for attention, including endangering their loved ones and themselves.
Don't think that a touch of comedy will make the movie less unpleasant, it will make you feel even more out of sorts.
Raw (2016)
This is a story about a lost girl looking for support and love, and also... eating raw meat (yes, including human meat). The main character ends up in a veterinary school run by a gang of thugs imposing their perverted rules on the school. One such rule is a mandatory rite of passage in which novices must eat a raw rabbit kidney. The heroine accepts the rules of the game and, previously a vegetarian, discovers in herself an all-consuming passion for eating raw meat that only grows stronger and more terrifying.
To attract hardcore body horror fans, we can say that at the Toronto International Film Festival, several viewers could not stand the images shown on the screen and fainted. How terribly intriguing is that?
Tusk (2014)
Never before have you been so interested and at the same time afraid to look at walruses. We won't give you any spoilers because the director of this body horror, Kevin Smith, is capable of a lot of surprises and we give him the palm. The movie's initially comedic plot gradually takes on elements of body horror and even a detective story. Walking on the edge of a knife, Kevin Smith was able to maintain a balance of good humor, coherent plot and visual experimentation.
There're also black-and-white flashbacks of eating raw meat, Johnny Depp as a Frenchman, a freak chopping off his leg with a katana, and two walruses fighting to Fleetwood Mac.
