Propaganda under the cut.

Splinter:

"A parasite in the form of thorns grows in the bodies of living things and transforms them into mindless zombies. It all happens while the victim is still alive, which is absolutely the most horrific part of everything imo. The part where the cop's body is ripped in half by a thorn creature and sort-of stitched on to the thorn creature as an addition is top-shelf body horror alone. Basically if the best option for survival is cutting off your mutating appendage before it spreads to the rest of your body, then having to fight said mutated appendage as it comes to life, then you're in a body horror film."

Videodrome:

"Directed by David Cronenberg. Come on. A man inserts a videotape into the gaping, wet hole that has opened up in his abdomen in it."

"Cronenberg films are full of body horror. With a tagline like “long live the new flesh,” this is no exception. It starts off with a plot line centering around a mysterious snuff film and gets stranger and stranger. Is the protagonist hallucinating his TV becoming a throbbing, breathing pair of lips? Does he really have a veiny VCR slot in his abdomen? That fleshy gun hand seems lethal enough to be real!"
