Shivers*

(1975) 3.5 Gretchens

Not so bad it's good,
So 70s it's awesome.
Cronenberg classic

"Violence, blood, and
Depraved sex," states one review.
A fair summary.

Aphrodisiac
Sexually transmitted
By a parasite

Infects residents
Of a luxury high-rise
Quick as wildfire

Not the walking dead
More like the walking horny
With plenty of boobs.

*Also released as: Orgy of the Blood Parasites, The Parasite Murders, They Came from Within, and Frissons.
