“Surgery is the new sex.”
Directed by David Cronenberg

The premise
With his partner Caprice, celebrity performance artist Saul Tenser publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. An investigator from the National Organ Registry obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed... Their mission — to use Tenser's notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.
Horror Vault's take
In a near-future where the human body has become a canvas, celebrity artist Saul Tenser and his partner Caprice stage transgressive performances that blur the line between surgery and spectacle. When a government investigator begins shadowing their every move, the couple is drawn into a conspiracy that reaches far deeper than the art world. David Cronenberg returns to his signature obsessions — flesh, transformation, and the politics of the body — in a film that is as intellectually provocative as it is deeply strange. Equal parts meditation and provocation, it asks uncomfortable questions about what it means to evolve.
