While it might not be obvious to most, there's a tangible queer subtext underlying the vast majority of body horror cinema.
In this video, I take a deep dive into the world of body horror in film and TV, ultimately explaining how queer people can find empowerment, relatability, and representation through horror's most unsettling subgenre.
From Jennifer's Body to The Silence of The Lambs, I hope you'll join me on this video deep dive into the world of body horror.
SPOILERS FOR: The Silence of The Lambs, Ginger Snaps, Jennifer's Body, Hereditary, The Thing, The Fly, It Follows, Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Titane
