"Holy Earache!" <i>Body Melt</i> is an Australian horror film that gives off <I>The Stuff</i> and <I>The Substance</i> vibes, maybe even <I>Street Trash</i>, mixed in with some weird dialog, terrible jokes, and great deaths. It may not be for those who get queasy easily, but it's a somewhat fun ride.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately grotesque Australian splatter-comedy that treats graphic body decomposition as both horrifying spectacle and pitch-black joke. It's cheerfully disgusting and relentlessly weird in equal measure.
