The film that kick started the cannibal pop-culture craze. A perfect horror film.
Also shout out to Brand New Cherry Flavour, the unhinged Netflix body horror magical realism show that I never see anyone talk about. It’s mad and I loved it.

i love gore and blood and guts and i love weird bodily transformations and cool practical effects and most importantly i love fucked up freak shit. i also love when a piece of art makes me feel a little sick and uncomfortable in my own skin, inducing a bodily response is a high honor for something simply happening on a screen.
i also feel particularly seen by the genre - it seems like there's a body horror movie for nearly every aspect of the discomfort i feel with my own body and how it relates to my place as a woman (anything fargeat, anything ducournau, swallow (2019), ginger snaps (2000), blue my mind (2018), dans ma peau (2002)... i'm definitely forgetting some) so i find these films very cathartic and special
david cronenberg is the king of this genre, so if you're not super familiar with it, start with him.. videodrome (1983) is my favorite!!

One of the most overlooked movies in the past 5 years. Sold as a body-horror pic, but more of a gumshoe detective story involving surgery and microplastics in a sort-of dystopian future.
Incredibly steamy and unusual. One of my favorite Kristen Stewart performances (next to Personal Shopper and Adventureland). The body horror element might scare some away, but not often a sci-fi story so stuck in its world has so much to say about ours. Thought provoking and conversation worthy, high rewatchability.

My Mom has been over to my house with more frequency lately to help with my baby daughter. Every time she’s here she steps on my old dog. It’s like an addiction for her. Our dog is fine.

I’m a new Dad and I often find myself up in the middle of the night. When I do, I’m physically groggy and mentally foggy. But I’m also desiring something artistic and emotionally fulfilling. My Bloody Valentine’s droning guitars and soft, elven vocals both keep me awake and allow my mind to drift into a sonic cloud. Highly recommend.

These should win a Michelin Star, a James Beard award, and a Pulitzer. I used to work at one of the top restaurants in LA, and these are better.
