Alicia
After her first menstruation, Alicia is kidnapped and led by fly-men into a surreal and dirty underworld ruled by a disgusting being.
Why it matters
A visceral dive into body horror and adolescent dread, Alicia (1994) confronts puberty as a grotesque, nightmarish rite of passage.
- Unearthly practical effects evoke the slimy, claustrophobic terror of transformation and loss of innocence.
- A rare artifact of 90s underground horror that fuses surrealism with visceral physicality—think Cronenberg meets David Lynch’s darker corners.
- Explores menstruation and female maturation as a source of primal horror rarely given this raw, unflinching treatment.
- Not for the faint of heart or lovers of clean aesthetics—this one’s grime, discomfort, and weirdness run deep.
