I grew up loving Cronenberg's earlier flicks, which verged on body dysmorphic horror. Obvious examples were They Came from Within, Videodrome and Dead Ringers.

At the end of the day though, the kid in me wants to see some giant bugs or dinosaur/demon based survival horror lol.

Given your mention of survival horror (which suggests you might be a gamer), I wonder what you think of Shadows of the Damned, a collaboration by Suda51 and Resident Evil 4's Shiji Mikami. It seems to be a winking love song to grim but awful taste. From the review in Eurogamer:

Shadow of the Damned doesn't hold back when it comes to conjuring Dante-esque dioramas of the grotesque, with entrails spilling from doorways and monsters that make their stage appearance by bursting through the translucent skin of a woman. But the dreadfulness is softened in every scene with a clutch of knob gags, or freaks that speak with plum English accents. It's as if Bayonetta had been produced by Terry Gilliam, the effect being that the horror is robbed of shock and transformed into black comedy.

Doesn't hurt, I suppose, that Suda51 had been an undertaker just before he got into game design.
