Cronenberg's first real movie, and it's still a rather effective one. The body-horror he became famous for, is used to good effect here. As is the claustrophobic setting. And Sex Zombies? how can you not be interested by that?

The first 45 minutes is quite slow and only has a good few moments. Gets going in the second half but I think they should have just stuck to the parasite only being able to infect people through sexual contact. Worth a watch though

"Sex is the invention of a very clever venereal disease" Shivers is David Cronenberg's first feature film and in it we find all the themes thoroughly explored in his filmography. -Sex, the consequences of the liberation of this instinct or its repression -The body, its oddities and its conflicting relationship with the mind: does the mind control the body or is it the opposite? -Technology, science and how they can affect the human body and mind Shivers is horror at its finest because it uses the genre to investigate interesting themes and pose unsettling questions.

The early gore is used effectively and brings the normal world in contact wit More

I'm torn between rating this "So Bad, It's Good" or "So Bad, It's Atrocious".... But I'm leaning a lot more towards the "atrocious". Good lord, I don't know what I just sat through but suffice it to say I'm glad I watched it on company time so at least I was getting paid while watching it. I have to More

Fun horror movie that reminded me a bit of Dawn of the Dead (one location, people being "infected" and going after one another (hungry for flesh so to speak) and the few survivors fighting for their lives. Not great per se but still entertaining and a solid debut for David Cronenberg (well, feature More
