A spacecraft returns to Earth with a frightening surprise on board. Two of the ship's three astronauts have mysteriously vanished, while the third is sick with an unidentifiable illness. While doctors try to help the third man recover, an investigation takes place to figure out just what happened to his comrades. As it turns out, the survivor’s body has been taken over by an alien fungus that needs blood to survive. After the astronaut escapes from the hospital, he transforms into a monster, attacking everyone who gets in its way. Meanwhile, Scotland Yard detective Lomax (Jack Warner) and Professor Bernard Quatermass (Brian Donlevy), a determined scientist, attempt to track down the creature before it finds new victims.

Body Horror Beatdown, Match 8, Round 1

Vote for your favorite:

Propaganda under the cut.

The Fly:

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

"Main character turns into a man-fly hybrid slowly over the course of the movie. What happens to him is truly horrific and only adds to my disgust of insects as a whole. Some might even say the ability to make Jeff Goldblum disgusting is a body horror feat in and of itself."

"*potential spoilers?* I LOVE IT WHEN SCIENTISTS FALL BC OF THEIR OWN HUBRIS !!! IT'S SO GOOD also the body horror was rlly well done as far as I remember! It has been a bit since I've watched it tho" "The body horror in this movie was beautifully disgusting, you don't want to get me STARTED on the ending when his jaw is ripped off and everything that was still vaguely human about him ripped away, like his eyes turned to mush and dripped out as his forehead split open and chunks of flesh just fell on the floor, the makeup and special effects were absolutely jawdropping."

The Quatermass Xperiment: X is not an unknown quantity.

(wikipedia) "The film concerns three astronauts who have been launched into space aboard a single-stage-to-orbit rocket designed by Professor Quatermass. It crashlands with only one of its original crew, Victor Carroon (Richard Wordsworth), still aboard. He begins mutating into an alien organism, which, if it spawns, will engulf the Earth and destroy humanity. After Carroon escapes from custody Quatermass and Inspector Lomax (Jack Warner) of Scotland Yard have just hours to track him/it down and prevent a catastrophe."
