Why it matters
Michael (2026) isn’t horror, but its mythic approach to Michael Jackson’s rise taps into the dark side of celebrity as a modern nightmare of obsession and transformation.
- A textured portrait of fame’s monstrous allure, echoing body horror’s themes of identity and self-mutation.
- Illuminates the pressures that warp genius—think Cronenberg’s *Videodrome* without the gore, but with all the psychological unease.
- For fans of biopics that dig beneath the surface to reveal the haunted human behind the icon.
- A reminder that the most terrifying monsters are often born from our collective cultural obsession.
