10 More Perfect Horror Movies You've Never Heard Of

Brandon Cronenberg has really put his stamp on horror in the last few years, with his most recent picture Infinity Pool finding purchase in some of the more popular corners of the film and cinema scene this year, but back in 2012 he was still small potatoes, fighting to get out from under his father's shadow and putting together his first feature on a budget of less than £2 million.

The feature film in question is Antiviral, starring a post-X-Men, pre-Get Out Caleb Landry Jones as Syd March, employee of a clinic that offers injections of celebrities' diseases to the most obsessive fans. But Syd leads something of a double life, infecting himself and selling the disease pathogens on the black market. He makes some side money and spends most weekends recovering in bed, but soon runs into an illness he can't quite shake, and a dark conspiracy at the heart of it all.

Despite debuting at Cannes and co-winning the Best Canadian First Feature Film at TIFF, Antiviral screened in only two cinemas in the UK, and made somewhere in the region of £100,000 globally. It's no surprise, then, that nobody saw it, and a similarly woeful home media release in the intervening years has ensured things remain that way. Nevertheless, Antiviral's blend of psychological thrills, body horror and good old fashioned misery make it essential viewing.
