12 Disturbing Sci-Fi Movies You Must Watch (But Only Once)
1. Antibirth
Starring Russian Doll’s Natasha Lyonne (of all people) this psychedelic 2016 horror mystery sort-of-very-dark satirical comedy sees its heroine imbibe a strange drug out of boredom
in her humdrum small-town existence, only to fall pregnant with… something.
What follows is a strange hybrid of shaggy dog mystery and unexpectedly intense body horror, with the two unrelated genres never really gelling but the film being stuffed with so much viscerally strange and shocking imagery that it nonetheless holds your attention throughout.
It’s unlikely you’ll feel the need for repeat viewings of Antibirth, but its strange and unsettling imagery is likely to stick with you long after the credits roll, seared into your subconscious and ready to bubble to the surface whenever the prospect of pregnancy rears its body-contorting head.
