Where we shelve this film

Body horror

Bodies out of control: transformations, parasites and fear of your own flesh.

Eco-horror

Nature strikes back, from killer plants to seriously angry wildlife.

Psychedelic & surreal

Dream logic, wild colours and images that ignore reality.

Japan: cult & supertrash

From Japanese monster classics to absurd genre experiments. A discovery shelf, not a quality verdict.

Our genre tags are curated classifications. These descriptions explain the shelf, not the film’s plot.

Our guide’s house opinion

MUSHROOM CONSULTATION CANCELLED

When body horror and psychedelic nature take the same exit.

An affectionate house opinion, not an audience score or an age rating.

Screen on. Reality off.
