Director David Cronenberg, widely considered the principal originator of the sub-genre body horror, is famous for his provocative and twisted movie style relating to the human body.
His popular titles include The Fly, A History of Violence, and The Brood.
Yet another film of his is particularly controversial, with people even today disgusted by it.
Discussing the erotic thriller, one person writes: âThis so weird, sick and twisted.â
Another adds: âI am completely confused on how and why the directors, producers, and whoever wrote this.â
âThis movie was depraved, dark, and altogether unnecessary,â a third person says.

The controversial horror filmâs issues began with its initial screening at the Cannes Film Festival.
The festivalâs jury created the âSpecial Jury Prize for originality, for daring and for audacityâ to evade the intense dislike harbored towards it by The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, who was jury president, as per BBC Culture.
Following the filmâs release, it faced intense pressure to be banned.
Late British film critic Alexander Walker said it went âbeyond the bounds of depravity,â per the BBFC (the British Board of Film Classification).
The Daily Mail and Evening Standard led a campaign aiming for its ban, leading some places in the U.K. to stop showing it.
Westminster Council even prohibited the film from being shown in areas of London, while Norway also banned it from cinemas, as per the Daily Star.
In the U.S., AMC Cinemas posted security guards on its doors to prevent minors from slipping in and seeing it.

The twisted horror follows a car crash victim who suddenly finds himself turned on by car accidents and becomes involved with an underground subculture of like-minded souls.
Based on the J.G. Ballard novel of the same name, it stars James Spader, Holly Hunter, Elias Koteas, Deborah Kara Unger, and Rosanna Arquette.
It features numerous s** scenes, with one involving the protagonist using his manhood to penetrate a scar on a disabled womanâs leg.
The BBFC was asked to view the erotic thriller in October 1996. It determined that the film was ânot intended to be taken literallyâ and examined its topics metaphorically.
The governmental organization also sought the advice of experts and a psychologist ruled it wouldnât incite dangerous or copycat behavior.
Finally, eleven disabled people screened the title, sharing whether they considered it offensive â they generally didnât enjoy it, but noted its depiction of disabled people as s**ually attractive and active as positive.

Another scene from Crash was also cut, however, it wasnât down to the reason many may have presumed.
The sequence in question shows an actress lactating and a âspurt of milk shot across the screen,â which Cronenberg told The Guardian didnât fit the movieâs logic.
He explained: âIt was pretty sensational, we were all excited that it happened, but the thing is in the movie that character is not pregnant and is not breastfeeding, so dramatically it made no sense.â
While the 1996 movie sparks outrage and debate even now, it has developed a cult following and is considered one of Cronenbergâs best films.
