B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Bodily Betrayal horror into the ol’ VCR. 

I’m back on my BS. That’s right, friends. We’re talking about body stuff today. 

But not just any type of body stuff. 

We’re talking about a little subgenre of horror that I like to call Bodily Betrayal, not to be confused with Possession movies. 

These movies involve a body part that becomes sentient and then raises hell for the person attached. Be it eyeballs, brains, or hands, I’ve assembled a little bit of everything.

This subgenre freaks me out a little bit because it plays on the fear of not being in control of your body. Imagine that, one day, you can no longer control one of your limbs. 

It doesn’t respond to anything you try to do, and you have no way of controlling it. 

Then, imagine if that particular appendage has a murderous spirit. 

Yeah. 

It’s…not great. 

The list might be short, BUT I do love all of these movies and the segment I’ve included here. 

Yes, including The Eye. 

Without further ado, here are four movies and one segment that will make you second guess the next leg twitch: 

• The Eye 
• Idle Hands 
• Evil Dead 2
• Brain Damage 
• V/H/S 2 segment – “Phase I Clinical Trials”
