10 Terrifying Eco-Horror Movies

"Viral Pandemics. Fire-filled tornadoes. Green ooze flowing onto freeways. These are just a few of the environmental catastrophes making headlines in recent weeks and months. It turns out humanity doesn't have to look much further than its own proverbial backyard to find inspiration for horror stories. The compromised and violated environment seeking revenge on the species that has wreaked havoc within it is a common theme in the genre. The movies on this list use the fear brought on by climate change, pollution, and the aberrant manipulation of the natural world to push their narratives. From monstrous creatures to infestations to extreme body horror, these films employ terrifying special effects and severe situations to prove just how powerless people are when pitted against Mother Nature."
