From creepy to daring, here are five body horror movies you might have missed
Synopsis
A fading celebrity takes a black-market drug: a cell-reproducing substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself. Nothing is scarier than being human, and these films explore the utterly inhuman ways our bodies can betray us. Ray Liotta was cast in the film in February 2022, but died in May of that year before he could shoot his scenes. Dennis Quaid replaced him, but Liotta is still mentioned in the director’s credits during the credits.

The better version of you is you
Not to be someone else or someone younger or prettier. I like the message packaged in a sarcastic way. At the end of the day you have to choose your own beauty or beauty with a monster inside. It’s natural to get old and unattractive.
So it’s worth seeing
Becoming less famous and attractive are the consequences of life. Be grateful for what you have and dissatisfaction with what we have will only lead us to disaster. And don’t forget that karma exists. Plant flowers, you will see beauty.
You won’t see anything terrible if you get the message
