Some people are scared of chainsaw-wielding maniacs in masks; others get chilled from dramatic revelations about unassuming but ultimately dark figures; then there are those who are scared of humanity’s place in the universe, that people are more insignificant than they are and are more susceptible to powers bigger than they can imagine, like internet algorithms.

Body horror is having a moment. “Together” is a squishy, fleshy, scream-worthy body horror movie that premiered at Sundance under the festival’s Midnight banner, which means that it’s basically allowed to be the opposite of everything most Sundance movies are. It’s the rare film-festival horror film that could wind up playing in megaplexes, the way “The Substance” did. Not that it’s nearly as good; this is more of an over-the-top roller-coaster acid-trip if-it-looks-weird-do-it freak-out of a movie.

Al Ewing‘s script for Absolute Green Lantern #1 evokes the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft. There is more horror than awe to the weird power that seems to have chosen Hal Jordan. The general tone is far closer to a Junji Ito manga than E. E. “Doc” Smith’s space opera.
Flying Lotus, visionary musician, producer, and filmmaker, has finally returned to the director’s chair after 2017’s Kuso for Ash, a bold and unrelenting sci-fi horror experience that plunges deep into the abyss of memory and paranoia. (…)
China Miéville’s Perdido Street Station is easily one of the most critically acclaimed fantasy novels of the past several decades, as well as a seminal entry in the “weird fiction” subgenre. That makes the book a natural fit for The Folio Society’s ever-growing library of deluxe hardcovers.
