Arguably he does body horror better than anyone one. So it's no surprise that David Cronenberg's latest offering continues that journey. He wrote Crimes of the Future in 1999, but set it aside before deciding this was the right time to make the movie.

Nope – Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi
Jordan Peele's late latest foray into the horror sci-fi genre is a waste of time and space. It's a senseless, amateurish, elongated blamange, which I found difficult to sit through. And I say that as someone who thought Get Out was something special.
