How would you react to finding four inch long hairs up n down your back? What if your chest grew a secreting orifice with hidden weapons inside? Let\u2019s be honest: we all want to be dude from Scanners popping coworkers\u2019 heads like pimples. Our bodies are haunted houses, and David Cronenberg is the architect holding the blueprints for the newest additions. He became the master of body horror by directing an impressive list of films where the killer isn\u2019t just calling from upstairs, it\u2019s living under our finger nails. This semester of Blockbuster Film School takes on anatomy. It\u2019s real nasty but fun as hell.
