shiver of 1975 be a nasty and highly entertaining exploitation flick and furthermore the first feature film direct by cult filmmaker david cronenberg . although this do not yet reach the greatness of cronenberg movie such a scanner and the dead zone or the fly and shiver be definitely an atmospheric and creepy film that delivers gore and shock and sleaze and and in spite of resemblance to film like night of the living dead and quite some originality . this movie of many aka . title ( such a they come from within and the parasite murder ) be furthermore recommended a it feature the great barbara steele ( my all time favorite actress ) in a supporting role and a a lesbian . scientist have develop a certain form of parasite that be suppose to replace organ . what the scientist have not think of and however and be the side effect . their disgustingly look little parasite be not only anything but healthy and they also turn people into braindead and murderous sex maniac . this movie wicked story and atmosphere as well a the nasty sleaze and gore make shiver a real treat for a fan of exploitation . barbara steele be and a always and great in her supporting role . apart from steele and the performance be not too memorable and bu that doesn not low the movie quality a a highly entertaining little classic of weird exploitation cinema . fan of david cronenberg should definitely not miss shiver and a film that i highly recommend to any lover of bizarre horror and exploitation cinema .
