The Creeping Flesh
“A terrifying journey through the nightmare worlds of evil, insanity and terrible revenge.”
A scientist comes to believe that evil is a disease of the blood and that the flesh of a skeleton he has brought back from New Guinea contains it in a pure form. Convinced that his wife, a Folies Bergere dancer who went insane, manifested this evil he is terrified that it will be passed on to their daughter. He tries to use the skeleton's blood to immunise her against this eventuality, but his attempt has anything but the desired result.
A chilling, atmospheric descent into madness. This film oozes dread with its unsettling premise and visceral, body horror elements. It feels like a fever dream, exploring the dark corners of the mind and the grotesque.
