Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'meat' slugs were made of dyed gelatin and shot with high-speed cameras—actors frequently gagged from the smell under hot set lights.
Gunn wrote this after his divorce and has called it his 'most personal film'—the body horror mirrors his feelings about relationships consuming identity.
