Body Horror Beatdown Match 3, Round 1

Propaganda under the cut.

Tetsuo:

"majorly influential japanese cyberpunk body horror with a subtextually queer bent"

"A classic of Japanese horror cinema. It is, like all the best art, nearly incomprehensible. Shot in black and white, a man, for reasons never made clear, begins to sprout machinery and mechanisms, he meets a woman suffering from a similar condition, and it just gets weirder and creepier from there."

"Tetsuo is such a classic and iconic body horror movie that is so delightfully horrible, uncomfortable, and strange, and centers around rust meeting metal meeting flesh. there's so much artistry in all the effects and costuming which are absolutely dizzying. also the soundtrack rules and it was even homoerotic."

The Blob:

Now, terror has no shape.

"It just has some really good scenes and fun practical effects! It also works well as a remake of the original. Almost, if not all, of the blob scenes in the old movie are reworked for this one! And honestly, it's some rly good twists on them Some notable body horror moments would be: 1.Girl's face imploding, and the blob shooting out of it 2. Blob lands on top of a guy. His girlfriend goes to pull him out by the arm, but his arm is instead dissolved off 3. Idk if this counts, but it is my favorite scene, guy gets dragged down sink drain by blob 4. Man is basically reduced to skin and a face spread across a ceiling. His face is still writhing as if in pain"
