https://cosfordcinema.com/event/shivers-1975/David Cronenberg's first feature-length film (released in the U.S. under the title "They Came From Within") was a low-budget shocker that encapsulated many of the themes that would preoccupy the filmmaker for the rest of his career, including the decay of the human body, disease, sexuality, medical advancements and the delicate veneer of societal mores that keep us from indulging our most animal instincts.
Set mostly inside a luxury condo that tends to every conceivable need of its residents, "Shivers" has a simple central concept: A man-made venereal disease, which takes the physical form of a revolting parasite, begins to spread among the residents of the building. The side effects range from cannibalism to incontrollable sexual urges. The contagion rate is alarmingly high.
