When you think body horror, you think David Cronenberg. But he doesn't like it that way. For years, Cronenberg's unique brand of genre films with emphasis on the human form has led to a strong association between himself and the subgenre. With films like The Fly and Videodrome under his belt, it is easy to understand why critics consider Cronenberg the godfather of the genre. And in 2022, he finally returned to a more heightened type of genre picture after making more grounded dramas for many years. Crimes of the Future was released in 2022, and the film marked Cronenberg's first genre picture of the 21st century. After 1999's high-concept sci-fi thriller, eXistenZ, Cronenberg shifted to making more grounded, dramatic films like A History of Violence or Eastern Promises. Crimes of the Future reunited Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen (their fourth collaboration) and brought Cronenberg back to the world of science-fiction, resulting in one of his most salient and richly textured films yet.
