A scientist living in an apartment complex kills a girl and uses acid to destroy her internal organs, and then kills himself. While investigating, a doctor discovers that the scientist was doing experiments on the use of genetically engineered parasites as organ transplants. Soon, other people in the complex begin showing signs of carrying the parasites, spreading the things through wanton orgiastic abandon, and the complex begins suffering an attrition problem.
Did you know Edit. Trivia David Cronenberg has mentioned that he believes Dan O'Bannon borrowed heavily from the creatures in this film for his own movie in Alien Cronenberg stated, "I have to say that some of my images like this [parasite] ended up in things like Alien, which was more popular than any of the films I've ever made. But the writer of Alien has definitely seen these movies, Dan O'Bannon. The idea of parasites that burst out of your body and uses a fluid and leaps on your face, that's all in Shivers.
Goofs The manager cuts a building's phone lines. Later, Roger St. Luc rings the old francophone couple from the lobby after being attacked in the basement.
The couple answer the phone and tell St. Luc that his girlfriend, the nurse, has left the apartment because the phone had been cut off. Roger used the intercom, not the phone lines. Quotes Forsythe : Roger, I had a very disturbing dream last night. User reviews Review. Top review. Decent Cronenburg Film. SHIVERS is about parasites that enter their human hosts and cause them to do all kinds of strange sexual and violent things. Pretty cool concept that is handled well, and the film is both weird and entertaining as only Cronenburg can do it.
Again, not the best of his films by any means, but still solid. Give it a shot - 7. EVOL Oct 18, FAQ 1. Sign up Log in.
