Shivers AKA They Came From Within

Screening on Film
Directed by David Cronenberg.
With Paul Hampton, Joe Silver, Lynn Lowry.
Canada, 1975, 35mm, color, 87 min.

David Cronenberg channels his vision of the body as a fundamentally uncanny entity into his exploration of genetic engineering, STDs, condominium living and sexual drive. When a scientist cavalierly tests his latest parasite invention on his girlfriend, the enclosed world of a Toronto condo becomes a pulsating Petri dish of zombie-ish sexual desire, the labyrinthian architecture seeming to take on a sinister life of its own.
