Ganymede
After a small-town wrestling star develops a crush on an openly gay classmate, he is stalked by a grotesque creature that invades his thoughts as he navigates his feelings and struggles to live up to his legacy-obsessed family.
Why it matters
A raw fusion of body horror and queer coming-of-age that channels adolescent anxiety through a grotesque, otherworldly stalker.
- Practical effects by KNB alumni sculpt a disturbingly tactile monster that mirrors internalized fear and desire.
- Wrestles with toxic masculinity and legacy in a small town, rooting cosmic horror in very real social pressures.
- For fans of queer horror like *The Lure* or *Raw* who crave metaphor wrapped in visceral unease.
- Uneven pacing and narrative muddle undercut its ambitions, but the hallucinatory visuals and emotional sincerity persist.
