I don’t know what the hell lead to the creation of like a billion sci-fi and or/horror films about aliens and monsters in the 50s-80s which are almost definitely representative of subconscious fears of communism, deviance from socially accepted norms, and sexual deviance but we need to return to it

Body Horror Beatdown Match 3, Round 1

Propaganda under the cut.
Tetsuo:
"majorly influential japanese cyberpunk body horror with a subtextually queer bent"
"A classic of Japanese horror cinema. It is, like all the best art, nearly incomprehensible. Shot in black and white, a man, for reasons never made clear, begins to sprout machinery and mechanisms, he meets a woman suffering from a similar condition, and it just gets weirder and creepier from there."
"Tetsuo is such a classic and iconic body horror movie that is so delightfully horrible, uncomfortable, and strange, and centers around rust meeting metal meeting flesh. there's so much artistry in all the effects and costuming which are absolutely dizzying. also the soundtrack rules and it was even homoerotic."
The Blob:
Now, terror has no shape.
"It just has some really good scenes and fun practical effects! It also works well as a remake of the original. Almost, if not all, of the blob scenes in the old movie are reworked for this one! And honestly, it's some rly good twists on them Some notable body horror moments would be: 1.Girl's face imploding, and the blob shooting out of it 2. Blob lands on top of a guy. His girlfriend goes to pull him out by the arm, but his arm is instead dissolved off 3. Idk if this counts, but it is my favorite scene, guy gets dragged down sink drain by blob 4. Man is basically reduced to skin and a face spread across a ceiling. His face is still writhing as if in pain"

Bill: Look at him, He's too stupid to know how much trouble he's in. Why don't you wise up? Brian: I told you everything. I'm tired of hearing myself talk Bill: We're not boring you, are we? A bright kid like you? Brian: Hey, am I under arrest? 'cause if I am, I want a lawyer Bill: The man wants a lawyer Brian: Yeah, that's right! Brian: And if you are not bookin' me I'd like to leave. Either way, I want you outta my face Bill: Oh yeah, hardass? I'm in your face to stay! What are you gonna do about it? Brian: Go ahead, hit me! Herb: Bill! Brian: Go ahead

Pitch for a remake of “The Blob”:
In 1958, a meteorite lands in the outskirts of a small town in Idaho. The meteorite contained the entity known as “The Blob”, which proceeded to wreak havoc on the town’s residents. The incident was eventually contained and covered up by the U.S. military, which locked the Blob away in Area 51. The creature was so destructive and out of control that the U.S. decided not to even experiment on it due to the fear that it would somehow break free. Thus, Area 51 became the Blob’s prison.
Cut to 2023/2024 where we meet George Thompson, who is a soldier working at Area 51. Unbeknownst to the people around him, George is planning on becoming a whistleblower since he had become disillusioned by how the U.S. has been covering up the existence of aliens. His plan; sneak the Blob out of the facility and use it as proof that aliens exist.
At first, George’s plan seems to work since he manages to get the Blob outside of Area 51. However, things quickly go to shit when the Blob manages to break free and kill George. Now loose, the Blob begins a new reign of terror as it trudges its way towards Las Vegas.
Side note: The beginning of the movie shows how the 1958 Idaho incident was contained. The flashback/prologue sequence is done entirely in black-and-white to give it the classic monster movie feeling.
Fancast:
1) Chris Pratt plays George Thompson, the false/red herring protagonist (I chose Pratt since the audience won’t assume he’ll die first due to his star power)
2) Steven Yeun plays the true protagonist. His character is a Las Vegas gambler who is known for his insane luck.
3) Lily Sullivan plays the deuteragonist. She is the reporter who George Thompson was supposed to meet with. She later joins up with Steven Yeun’s character due to them being in the same hotel that the Blob attacks.
4) Jenna Ortega plays the tritagonist. She is a ditzy college student who is rescued by Steven Yeun’s character after all her friends are consumed by the Blob.
5) Cillian Murphy plays the shady CIA officer who watches over alien activities in Area 51.
6) Ryan Hurst plays the strict commanding officer of the soldiers sent to destroy the Blob.
7) Henry Simmons plays the Las Vegas sheriff who is trying to get the situation under control.
8) Dominic Fike plays one of Jenna Ortega’s friends who gets eaten by the Blob.
9) Kevin Dillon plays the governor of Nevada. (this is more of a cameo role since he was in the 1988 Blob movie)
10) Shawnee Smith plays a survivor of the 1958 Idaho incident (also a cameo role for the same reason).
