A really really good concept...deserves an Eli Roth remake!

Philip Brophy is definitively more talented than Eli Roth.

Compare Eli Roth and Philip Brophy first "long" movies, Body Melt is a masterpiece, far far ahead of Cabin Fever and even Hostel, which are just descent b-movies...

Made in the early 90's this movie is the apotheosys of the "body corruption" gore, born in the 80's with "Street Trash": latex fest + vivid multicolored guts.

Of course this movie is full of trash and gories gems like all the gore deaths, the bodybulder with the effeminate voice, the absorption of the thyroid gland, the absorption of detergent etc.

But there is something in this one that I can't find in any other gore movie: the atmosphere and the photography. The introduction scene with the men and the woman making love and having a fix is awsome, they skin look green and shiny is great art. The way Brophy have shoot at "the peable's court" with a blue sky without clouds and very small shade (it must have been shoot around noon), there is a profound emphasis between the blue sky, the yellow houses, the green lawn and the red letter boxes.

In the scene at the airport I found again this kind of atmosphere rendering by the lighting, when Paul Matthews begin to feel bad (same skin rendering as the introduction scene).

The climax of the movie (at a dreamlike point of view) is the scene with the rib collector, it surpass the "gore movies genre" and bring it to more atmospheric movies like the one of Alejandro Jodorowsky.

It's my favorite gore movie and it's a gem.

You are correct when you say that Hollywood make *beep* horror movies. But movies aren't made only in Hollywood. Check out the excelent horror movies that are being made in Asia for example.
