15 Essential Horror Movies Since 2000 You Might've Missed

9. Taxidermia

With its art house credentials and allegorical subtexts, Taxidermia is as much a brilliantly funny surrealist fantasy as it is perhaps one of the greatest - and most underrated - body horror movies of all time. Spanning three generations of Hungarians - a military orderly, a speed-eater and a modern day taxidermist - Taxidermia is a lurid, visually striking, sometimes perversely amusing and all-round weird movie unlike anything else you've seen. György Pálfi takes the notion of dying for your art to the highest level, and the final scene is destined to go down in history as one of the most twisted depictions of self-surgery ever filmed. Grotesque and compelling in equal measure, Taxidermia is a must-see for those who like their horror as strange as possible.
