The month

Body horror, folk horror, satire, grief, hunger, transformation. The films here are the ones the genre's best recent decade was built on, and half of them are still under-seen. It closes on The Substance because nothing else could follow it.

Pacing

Mostly under two hours. Titane, Raw, and Trouble Every Day are the intense nights; keep them apart.
