10 Hidden Gem Body Horror Movies

10. Taxidermia

While the majority of films featured on this list are played straight 'n' serious, György Pálfi's Taxidermia has its tongue firmly within its cheek. Comedy isn't something you necessarily associate with the world of body horror, but that's exactly what Pálfi serves up with his 2006 movie.

Telling the tale of three generations of male family members, Taxidermia largely hangs its hat on the notion of behavioural learning and how what we see is adapted into what we do.

First up, we're introduced to Morosgoványi (Csaba Czene), a World World II soldier with unique sexual habits (including getting it on with a pig, and being able to fire a flame from his d**k). Morosgoványi eventually fathers a son, Kalman (Gergely Trócsányi), who is born with a pig's tail. Rather than a lust for the female form, Kalman has a lust for food and ends up becoming a hefty speed-eater. He then eventually has his own son, Lajoska (Marc Bischoff), who replaces the urge to stuff his face with the urge to stuff dead bodies - becoming a taxidermist.

All three generations here offer up some demented imagery due to their own particular habits, and the end result is a movie that brilliantly manages to be entertaining and charming, yet totally disgusting at the same time.
