Shivers

Fucking wild ride of a film with a lot of violence and sex. It's a fair first effort from a great mind still figuring it out.

Horny zombies and the best depiction of the first time I tried putting contact lenses in. Can see the birth of Cronenberg on film.

Disturbing AF! Made me more terrified of parasites. 😬 I'd not recommend this one for everyone.

Ahead of its time on stem cell research, Shivers fearfully captures how quickly something can spread in a clausterphobic environment.

“Even dying is an act of eroticism. That talking is sexual. That breathing is sexual”. A subversive and disturbing movie.

Signature Cronenberg. He adroitly sets up an academic sci-fi.

Forgoes “scary” in favor of deeply disquieting horror. Sure it can feel hammy at times, but that serves to dull a very disturbing dark side.

Cronenberg having fun; body horror at its finest.

A great start for Cronenberg! Dirty, perverse, gory and all brought to us by government funding thank you Canada. Lots of cool ideas here

Cronenberg's debut. The attack of shit logs that make you a rapist.
