The fungal body horror Russian showcase Superdeep has the trappings of a better movie, but completely undercuts its fabulous practical effects and makeup work with characters who seem to be willfully stupid in their actions.

A brutal and difficult to watch examination of a young woman laid low by a necrotic wasting case of VD. Emotionally rough and viscerally horrifying, this is not one for the weak of heart or stomach.
Ultraviolent sci-fi? Sign us up! Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any weirder, darker, and more complex — along comes Possessor. Directed by Brandon Cronenberg (offspring of THAT David Cronenberg), Possessor allegedly involves some high-falutin corporate espionage, some brain control devices, and a whole lotta’ assassinating.

A beautifully shot and unintentionally timely creature feature highlighting the struggle between Human Nature and Science.

This oddly creepy Japanese Golem movie has some great individual moments, with a treatise that art can be so bad that it will devour its creators.

Two great tastes that go great together: Teen coming-of-age movies and body horror. Blue my mind explores a Swiss girl’s transformation into a mermaid while trying to win over the cool kids at her new school in a cycle of self-destructive behavior.

Too bad the director and editors didn’t have more faith in their own monster effects.
