Insectoid Woman

Marta wakes in her apartment and realizes her body is changing. Her skin develops chitinous plates, her joints make strange clicking sounds. She tries to hide the transformation from her husband, but each day brings new alterations. This 2026 horror drama explores body horror through the metaphor of marital alienation. The director employs extreme close-ups on details of the metamorphosis — skin fissures, strange growths, shifting eyes. Gradually, the horror shifts from physical to psychological as Marta loses connection not only with her body but with reality itself. The film balances between metaphorical drama about self-loss and full-bodied horror of physical mutation.
