Shivers

This is a 1975 Canadian science fiction body horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg.

The Plot

Residents of a suburban high-rise apartment building are being infected by a strain of parasites that turn them into mindless, sex-crazed terrors out to infect others by the slightest sexual contact.

This is a very bizarre film. It is a much less gory film as I intended for it to be. I did like the film but not as much as Rabid.

The acting in this film is very good and the score to this film is good as well.

I did find at the start of the film when there is a voice over and the man is talking about Starliner Island it was very interesting.

This film isn’t shocking as I thought it would be although at the time it came out it probably would be shocking.

There are some great scenes in this film. When the man throws up and the blood lands on an old woman’s umbrella; thought it was funny. When the professor attacks the young girl and he then cuts her open. Then after that he cuts he’s throat that scene was very weird.

Some of the scenes are very bizarre and bit sexual at times. Which it didn’t bother me too much. It isn’t too gory so almost anyone could watch it if like horror and weird films.

I did like the ending to the film. I thought the ending was great, probably my favourite part. Croneberg directing in this film is very good.

Overall, I thought the film was alright. I prefer Rabid to this though. I would still recommend this but it is really bizarre and lot of sexual orientated stuff happens a lot. This film is not for everyone but if you like horror and weird films I think this is right up your alley!

Rating: 7/10

This film is so great!! I have seen the first one which I thought was brilliant. It is probably best for anyone who’s interested in this film that they should watch Dead Snow (D ød Snø) as well. Although, the first few scenes of the film is that it’s reminding you some of things that happened in the first film. That I liked, as it gave me an idea of what happened from the first film as I only watc...
