55. Jack Cardiff’s The Mutations (1974)

In the 1970s, someone thought it’d be a cool idea to mix the ideas of Tod Browning’s Freaks with a Frankenstein story genetically modified with DNA. This horror movie trades in the objectification of people that are different, women tits getting a breath of fresh air, and really cool fast-motion plant footage. We tried to be careful with our language and ableism discourse. Maybe we didn’t nail it, but we tried our darndest and are always striving to get better. Speaking of getting better… uh… keep listening to Loathsome Things: the best place to get horror movie summaries without having the watch the horror movies yourself because you’re too scared and we aren’t, so there!
