Wikipedia:
"Body Horror, Biological Horror, Organic Horror or Venereal Horror is horror fiction in which the horror is principally derived from the graphic destruction or degeneration of the body. Such works may deal with disease, decay, parasitism, mutilation, or mutation. Other types of body horror include unnatural movements, anatomically incorrect placement of limbs to create 'monsters' out of human body parts, etc. David Cronenberg is one of the notable directors who made horror films of this kind."
Other movies include Re-Animator, Hellraiser, Cabin Fever, The Human Centipede, and, to a lesser extent, Black Swan (haven't seen it, so can't compare).
I don't think I want to watch The Human Centipede. Body Horror's fun for one thing, but from the wiki, that looks just plain sick. Ugh.
Anyone else think of Dead Space when seeing this recently?
If con is the opposite of pro, wouldn't congress be the opposite of progress?
