From the chilling to the daring, here are five body horror movies you might have missed
Synopsis
A fading celebrity takes a black market drug: a cell replicator that temporarily creates a younger, better version of himself. There is nothing scarier than being human, and these films fully explore the inhuman ways our bodies can betray us. us. Ray Liotta was cast in the film in February 2022, but died in May of that year before he could film his scenes.

Pump It Up Written by: Michael Hall, Leonardo Stella Performer: Earl Gregory Producer: Julien Deguines. Every scene in this movie blew me away at TIFF. The cast, the atmosphere, the visual and sound design, the music and of course the symbolism of it all. Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley could not have been more perfectly cast in the lead roles.
To me, this is a future cult classic
Their commitment to the process and trust in their director was clear to me. Their vulnerability pulls this together and leads to a very compelling fever dream. Everyone involved should be really proud of this film. Body/psychological horror, so don’t expect jump scares.
It’s deeper than that
During the film I found myself lost in reflection (as a 47 year old woman this really spoke to me). But it’s also extremely fun to watch! Take it seriously like a real work of art, but not at the same time, and you’ll have a good time.
