The Big Picture Before starring in Luc Besson's Dogman, Caleb Landry Jones teamed up with Brandon Cronenberg, who would go on to direct Infinity Pool and Possessor, to give us one of the best body horror performances of the 21st century. Cronenberg's debut feature Antiviral sees Jones play Syd March, an employee at a company that sells celebrity viruses to fans. He infects himself with a virus, not knowing the deadly consequences, and the movie sees the infection take hold of him.
The expansion of the dystopian society sees Syd leaving work and heading to a local butcher. Here, they are selling what appears to be human meat, with pictures of smiling faces next to pale, unnatural-looking flesh. The owner of the meat market, Arvid explains that the meat is grown from the muscle cells of celebrities. He then proceeds to emphasize that it is not cannibalism but merely an imitation of celebrity bodies as it is synthetically grown.
Related 'Titane' Is More Than Its Twisted Body Horror A nasty, twisted little film that secretly has a heart of gold. As previously seen, Syd injects himself with Geist's pathogens in hopes of selling them on the black market. However, when he attempts to process the pathogens, his stolen machine in his apartment inexplicably breaks down. The next day, he finds out Hannah is dead and the virus he is now infected with is deadly.
