Shivers

Shivers (1975)
Dir: David Cronenberg

The residents of a high-rise apartment building are infected by a strain of parasites.
Cronenberg's first feature film puts an interesting spin on the zombie horror genre. The isolated setting is well used and the atmosphere is suitably creepy. The film contains some disturbing scenes but lacks anything in the way of real scares, and the acting is pretty poor.
