Brandon and David Aren’t the Only Cronenberg Horror Filmmakers Worth Your Time — And This 2024 Movie Proves It

The Cronenberg directors all found an affinity with horror, with David Cronenberg, dubbed the "Baron of Blood" or the "King of Venereal Horror," paving the bloody and provocative path his children would soon follow. With the likes of Shivers (1975) and The Fly (1986), David is often credited with helping invent the genre of body horror, using grotesque physical transformations, viral outbreaks or sci-fi to coax these brutal moments out. Brandon Cronenberg follows in his father's footsteps with films that also dip into the sub-genre of body horror like a sledgehammer, including in Possessor (2020) or Infinity Pool (2023), living up to his legendary surname.
