| Shivers |
Cronenberg set new standards of 'ewww' in Shivers (aka The Parasite Murders), as nasty, lab-engineered, Mr Hanky-look-alike parasites turn the occupants of Starliner Towers, an exclusive high-rise apartment block, into brain-dead and very horny zombies eager to infect others, with nauseating side effects.
Cult 'scream queen' Barbara Steele features in the notorious bathtub scene that inspired the film's artwork. She is the stuff of dreams and nightmares in the midst of this sexual apocalypse.
