A DISTURBING science fiction horror drama is coming to the small screen tonight – and it’s not one for the faint-hearted.
The controversial gore-fest is making its way to BBC2 – despite causing mass walkouts at its first ever screening.
The ‘skin-crawling’ body horror saw dozens of viewers walk out of the initial Cannes screening – while it also received a seven minute round of applause.
Crimes of the Future is from the brains of filmmaker David Cronenberg and stars Viggo Mortensen, Lea Seydoux and Kristen Stewart.
Stewart plays a curious investigator hired by an organ agency as they commodify the act of surgery for a live audience.
The 2022 film’s synopsis explains: “As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations.
“With his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances.
“Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed…
“Their mission — to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.”
The dystopian world movie saw audiences and critics walk out mid film – but has still ranked highly according to other gore-loving fans.
Yet the polarising horror has scored an impressive 80% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Cronenberg told Variety previously about the walkout uproar: “It doesn’t make me sad.
“I mean, the worst thing is if your movie is boring and I’ve been some screenings in Cannes where nobody walked out, but nobody cared about the movie either.
“And that would be very depressing.”
Crimes of the Future airs on BBC Two tonight at 11pm.
