Regardless of their artistic merit, it’s understandable that it can sometimes be difficult for mainstream cinephiles to connect with movies about twisted bodies and grisly mutations. Obviously, this doesn’t mean that these films are any less deserving of praise – it’s just that not every critic has a strong stomach. That’s why it’s so satisfying to see a production like Coralie Fargeat’s satirical body horror flick The Substance get the recognition it deserves in spite of its disturbing mean streak.

And in honor of this Demi Moore / Margaret Qualley experiment wowing highbrow audiences worldwide, we’ve decided to come up with a list recommending six other arthouse body horror flicks for your viewing pleasure! After all, there’s no reason that fine cinema should be devoid of blood and malformed guts.

For the purposes of this list, we’ll be defining “arthouse” as any film...

The 28th edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival is set to run from from July 18th through August 4th at the Concordia Hall and J.A. de Sève cinemas in Montreal, with additional screens and events at Cinémathèque québécoise and Cinéma du Musée. Last month, the festival announced the first wave of titles that will be screening this year, and now the second wave has been unveiled!

With this second wave announcement, we learn that Cube director Vincenzo Natali has been chosen to be the recipient of the Candadian Trailblazer Awards this year, while the line-up of films includes the Elijah Wood comedy Bookworm, the Kit Harington werewolf movie The Beast Within, a movie called Scared Shitless, the 1815-set blockbuster epic The Count of Monte-Cristo, and Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo’s The Soul Eater.

Here’s the information on the second wave of titles (and the Canadian Trailblazer...

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is one of the most acclaimed directors of the generation. He is known for his gory action dramas that have sprinkles of dark humor and act as tributes to all the films he has loved. He is known for films such as Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Kill Bill, and more. He has also written books about cinema.

Tarantino has always appreciated brilliant pieces of art and has also criticized films that he felt did not meet the mark. He reportedly loved Takashi Miike’s cult horror film Audition. He especially commented on the much-talked-about final scenes in the Japanese horror film and spoke about how Miike took the audience on a ride.

The Vancouver-shot ‘zombie’ horror feature “Festival of the Living Dead” is directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska, starring Ashley Moore and Camren Bicondova, now playing on Tubi:

‘…while attending a gathering in homage to the original zombie attack as revealed in director George Romero’s ‘Night of the Living Dead’…

“… ‘Ash’ and her friends also encounter the living dead and must fight back or become one of them…”

Click the images to enlarge…...

From Children of the Living Dead to Zombi 2, the infamous copyright blunder that immediately placed Night of the Living Dead in the public domain means that unauthorized sequels to George A. Romero’s classic are a dime a dozen. However, despite these flicks usually being dismissed as cash-grabs attempting to ride the coattails of a better filmmaker, the fact is that every modern zombie movie is an inherent follow-up to the 1968 original in one way or another– the homemade sequels are simply more honest about it.

This is exactly why I was so interested in checking out Tubi’s low-budget love-letter to Romero, Festival of the Living Dead, as the film’s trailer revealed that the story wouldn’t be wasting time on re-introducing familiar zombie tropes and instead assumes that everyone (including the main characters) are aware of the events that went down on that fateful night back in ‘68. Plus,...

Festival of the Living Dead is not only the latest Tubi Original, it’s the latest film from Jen and Sylvia Soska. That’s a bit of a come down for the sisters, who, after Dead Hooker in a Trunk and American Mary, were loudly proclaimed to be the future of horror. Dave Parker, who was in the same position some years back, recently used a Tubi Original, You Shouldn’t Have Let Me In to prove he can still make an entertaining film. Can the Soska Sisters do the same?

Directors Jen & Sylvia Soska (Rabid, American Mary) bring you back into the universe of George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead with Tubi Original Festival of the Living Dead, and Bloody Disgusting has been exclusively provided with the official trailer today.

Festival of the Living Dead will bite into Tubi on April 5. The new zombie film is set decades after Night of the Living Dead, centered on the grandchildren of that film’s main character.

The Soska Sisters tweet, “The film is a sequel to Romero’s masterpiece original Night of the Living Dead – the story follows Ben’s grandchildren 55 years after the incident.”

Ben was of course played by late actor Duane Jones in Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, who bravely battled the shambling undead before being killed by the film’s human villains.

Horror for some people is comforting like the warmth of the Universal monsters and others. Nothing wrong with that at all as I can respect the past however the other side is the horror that makes you feel uncomfortable.

The Canadian Soska Sisters have once again proven that Canadian storytellers are more than the work of David Cronenberg. In what I think is their best and most dangerous work since the overlooked American Mary (2012) you have the subversive On The Edge (2022) which is actually an exercise in sadism/masochism with loads of devilry, nudity, sex, and kink.

The film begins with a wide shot of an affluent area where politician Senator Coleman (Mackenzie Gray) is preaching on Television about outlawing pornography. Sounding of course like many of the actual people which will become more apparent at the end. Claire (Sylvia Soska dyed a fetching blonde) is making breakfast for her...

Written by Sean Whalen and Jim Wald, Crust tells the story of a lonely laundromat owner, Vegas Winters (Whalen), who keeps the leftover socks from customers and uses them to clean himself. When he gets abused and weeps into the pile of socks, it turns into a creature who seeks revenge on Vegas’ enemies.

Two years ago, it was announced that the filmmaking duo of Jen and Sylvia Soska would be writing, directing, and producing a cinematic adaptation of the game BlindSide for Radar Pictures. That adaptation is called Unseen, and now that the Soskas have finished working on their psychosexual thriller On the Edge it looks like Unseen will be their next movie. It has been reported that Ted Field – executive producer of the 2003 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – has come on board to produce the film alongside the Soskas, and casting is underway.

Described as a psychological sci-fi thriller, Unseen is set in the 1970s and will tell the story of

a Boston couple who wakes up one day to find they can’t see. They soon discover everyone else has also been rendered blind and their only hope is Ada, a woman who previously could not see but has now had her sight restored.

A couple weeks ago, a first look image from the psychosexual thriller On the Edge arrived online. The film had its world premiere at the FrightFest Halloween festival a few days ago, and we’ve gotten our hands on a teaser trailer, along with several more images. You can check those out at the bottom of this article. On the Edge is the latest movie from the filmmaking duo of Jen and Sylvia Soska, a.k.a. the Soska Sisters or the Twisted Twins.

The movie tells the story of “family man Peter, who gets more than he paid for when he books a 36-hour session with the sadistic Mistress Satana, who seems more intent on making him suffer for his sins.“

The film is the the sixth feature, and third original project, from Canadian filmmakers / twins Jen & Sylvia Soska, known as the Soska Sisters.

The film also stars Aramis Sartorio, Ola Dada, Andrea Jin, Brianna, and Alanna Finn-Morris, Ivan Decker, Mackenzie Gray, Sophie Buddle. Family man Peter gets more than he paid for when he books a 36-hour session with the sadistic "Mistress Satana" who seems more intent on making him suffer for his sins. Sounds freaky, for sure.

At the controversial intersection of graphic violence in pop culture and women’s liberation in politics, you’ll find the taboo and too often overlooked subgenre of feminist body horror.

These extreme scary movies wield over-the-top gore and violence like exacting scalpels, peeling away society’s thick skin of deference and niceties to reveal an insidious underbelly of gendered violence, gendered shame, gendered betrayal, gendered hell.

As with other body horror films, these themes can play out on the flesh of the hero, villain, or both. What sets them apart is not who wins and who dies, who suffers and who laughs, who has a penis and who doesn’t, but the emotional and sociopolitical motivations behind the filmmakers’ decision to shock — and even brutalize — their audiences with violent story pieces applied to specific characters. From puberty, sex, assault, and rape to conception, abortion, birth, and motherhood, literal arenas of...

We might have seen the last of Bruce Campbell playing Ash in the Evil Dead movies, but even cult franchises have a tendency to steamroll on. Most fans would agree on the difficulty of finding someone who could bring the same combination of screen presence, physical capability and engaging personality, but some have put forward the suggestion of Cm Punk to take up the chainsaw and boomstick.

His is a name with which you might not be familiar, as he’s not long been a genuine actor. Prior to this, he spent 15 years as a professional wrestler, where at one point he lasted well over a year as the WWE Champion after defeating John Cena, and left in 2014 to pursue a different path as an Mma fighter. After insidious horror film Girl On the Third Floor hit Netflix though, fans made a swift connection between its star and the deadite-slaying idiot.

It's capable of transforming loved ones into bloodthirsty killers, and after initially being featured in David Cronenberg's Rabid, the hunger-inducing infection finds new life in Jen and Sylvia Soska's remake of the 1977 film. Following its theatrical, VOD, and Digital release in December, Scream Factory is unleashing Rabid on Blu-ray this February, and we have a look at the cover art and full list of bonus features, including an audio commentary with the Soskas.

Press Release: Rabid comes to Blu-ray™ from Scream Factory on February 4, 2020, and includes an audio commentary with directors & writers Jen & Sylvia Soska, an interview with actress Laura Vandervoot, and the theatrical trailer.

A gruesome accident ... an experimental treatment ... an unstoppable nightmare. Jen and Sylvia Soska bring you a terrifying new take on the legendary David Cronenberg's Rabid.

Demure and unassuming fashion designer Sarah, horribly disfigured after a grisly collision, agrees to undergo an untested procedure...

Rabid is a remake of the 1977 David Cronenberg film - of the same name. This latest production was developed by sisters and Vancouverites Jen and Sylvia Soska (American Mary). Their version has not been Rated. But, based on their previous work, this film will not shy away from blood and gore. Starring Laura Vandervoort (Jigsaw), Benjamin Hollingsworth (Code Black), WWE wrestler C.M. Punk and Phil Brooks, this horror title is hitting U.S. theatres tonight. The film will also show on Digital platforms. And, this release looks to be action packed. Several early reviews have come out on the film. Mike McGranaghan at Aisle Seat mentions the practical effects: "some stellar prosthetics and FX work provide chills." All of the effects, from the trailer, look decent. Ian Sedensky at the Culture Crypt mentions one of the film's themes: "luckily, “Rabid” is a film about transformation." The main character Rose (Vandervoort...

Arriving in theaters and on digital platforms everywhere today is Sylvia and Jen Soska’s remake of Rabid, which follows an aspiring fashion designer named Rose (Laura Vandervoort), who is involved in a terrible accident that leaves her horribly scarred and unable to adapt to her new circumstances. She decides to participate in a radical stem cell treatment that not only cures her, but transforms Rose in unimaginable ways that leaves a trail of victims in her wake.

Daily Dead recently had the chance to speak with The Soska Sisters about taking on Rabid and their approach to the material (which was incredibly forward-thinking for its time), and how they wanted to make sure they represented David Cronenberg’s legacy in their latest feature film. Jen and Sylvia also discussed collaborating with Rabid star Laura Vandervoort, and how much it means to them to be able to represent the legacy...

The most uneven of David Cronenberg’s early commercial horror features, the 1977 “Rabid,” was nonetheless probably the biggest success among them, in large part due to the novelty value of seeing “Behind the Green Door” porn superstar and erstwhile Ivory Snow detergent-box model Marilyn Chambers in a lurid mainstream vehicle. It’s also the one ripest for remake, if only because his just-prior “Shivers” aka “They Came from Within” and ensuing “The Brood” should be left alone — largely reviled upon release, they’re now rightly considered genre classics. Lacking their outrageous ideas and cumulative narrative momentum despite some striking elements, “Rabid” nonetheless has a strong-enough basic concept to warrant revisiting.

In theory, “twisted twins” Jen and Sylvia Soska are fair candidates for that job: Like Cronenberg, they’re Canadian, attracted to body-horror, and have cut their own path from micro-budget projects toward the mainstream. They also claim they dislike remakes as a rule,...
