Cronenberg has returned to the horror genre, and more than proves he still has what it takes to horrify…
- Earman. Just everything about him is body horror at its finest. There's some Nightmare Retardant in that he never does anything more threatening than dancing to techno, and Tenser seems to regard him as a poser - but still, that's some potent body horror.
- Lang's ultimate fate. His plan to expose the truth of accelerated evolution is sabotaged, and as he weeps on the stairs outside the building he's approached by two technicians...who proceed to murder him by drilling holes in his skull.
