Lee Mandelo recommends

Cuckoo (2024)
Gretchen Felker-Martin
"Cuckoo is the gory, gooey, visceral horror story our present moment demands. It's an exploration of survival and loss in the teeth of interlocking material systems of violence like transphobia, homophobia, and racism. And it's also a radically queer homage to--or reimagining of!--some much-beloved genre classics, likeInvasion of the Body Snatchers."
