Body horror

Body horror is horror based on a sense of physical "wrongness" in the body. Bizarre birth defects and mutations are a common theme in body horror, as is unwanted physical transformation or invasion. Examples of the genre include Rosemary's Baby, Boxing Helena and many of Clive Barker's novels and films. Body horror often combines psychological horror with gore and other shocking imagery.
