Out of your standouts I have only seen Videodrome, which when I get around to officially rating it would be a 9. I have Rabid, but haven't watched it yet.

I at this very moment realize the standouts for me are all (unsurprisingly) directed by Cronenberg. Because Prof. Brundle's transformation.. when he starts pulling his teeth out makes you wince, but the combining clusterfuck at the end has always gave me a sense of sadness/dread.

Turning into a giant fly is bad, but I mean its not a game ender. But fusing a big half ton chunk of metal into your trunk on top if that... there is no adapting to that. And the thud he makes when he falls out of the pod, it's just perfect.

I've also always found the part in Shivers where the parasites are violently convulsing and spasming around in that guy's stomach a hard watch.

Good acting, that was one hell of a stomach ache and makes me think of when I eat a greasy egg, hashbrown, cheese & hot sausage sammich.

If it wasn't for that scene, and the Pancakes! scene, I wouldn't like anything about CF.

Going to read a little about Contracted. I saw Chemical Peel on Chiller some months ago. It's worth a one time view, but only that. It has a nice little twist as to what causes the girls to actually die.

Wow! I thought I had a good idea of how that would turn out, but a little before the 4 minute mark things really go sideways.

Even better than the only segment I can clearly remember from the first movie. I can't remember what letter it is, but a fat woman that wants to lose weight starts taking an electric carving knife to herself.
