"One of the greatest universal fears comes from within ourselves, the ability of the body and mind to contort into something unfamiliar and horrific. As a result, these themes have long been explored in horror cinema, with even notable series like Hellraiser and the portrayal of cenobites, who both celebrate and admonish the transformative power of the body. With body horror making its way, to some degree, into most of horror cinema, these films act to highlight not only some of the best, but the different ways in which the subject can be approached. As a result, all different maladies, both mental and psychical, are showcased."
