Cronenberg got more sophisticated later, but this is still a gross-out chiller to be proud of.

Cronenberg shows his stuff as an inventive auteur.

Shivers is an ingeniously engineered slash of thoroughly modern horror that, like George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, charts a social breakdown by tearing through our most intrinsic taboos.

Cronenberg makes the most out of the sterile building and creates some memorably shocking images.

A simplistic and maddening little gem that spoofs our fear of sex while pushing sexual content on film to its very limits.

Shivers, written and directed by Cronenberg, is a paranoid, prurient sexual nightmare.

Early Cronenberg. Crude, but effective.

The horror, if any, resides in leaving the known and comfortable behind en route to a new and radical way of thinking, feeling, living.

Cronenberg's revolution is fraught with both dread and allure

The film is so tackily written and directed, so darkly photographed and the sound so dimly recorded, that it's difficult to stay with it.
