david cronenberg shiver be a very clever and calculated piece of film making . the fashion it make in be very similar to george a romero dawn of the dead and be lo fi and confrontational and with a rich vein of social commentary run under the madness . shiver be a disturb concept and make unnervingly believable with it low budget realism . the basic premise of shiver be this and a mad scientist unleash a parasitic organism into an apartment complex that multiplies rapidly and turn it host into sex craze zombie and with the goal of bring man back to his savage root . cue lot of scene of people charge down corridor in attempt to rape everybody they can get their hand on and and mass orgy in various bit of the complex . a you can tell and shiver intend to disturb . in fact and it doesn not waste any time get on with that and open with a scene that intercuts a new couple be show around the complex with the graphic strangulation and dissection of a young girl ( i might add though not a minor a many have suggest ) . this scene be later put into direct context by the rest of the movie but it a stark and shock open to a stark shocking film . unless you have be live under a rock for the past thirty year and you have probably hear a lot about how sick and warp cronenberg film and the man himself be . rubbish . shiver be shock yes and but that isn not the point of the movie . through the medium of scary worm like parasite and horde of horny zombie and cronenberg manages to effectively flag up a warning about the potential danger of an increasingly sexualise society and and seem to wrestle with a lot of internal demon . he also work a lot of warmth and wit into the movie . in fact the bottom line with shiver be that if you can stomach the graphic violence and dizzy horror of the concept and shiver be a very human and emotive movie . the cast be all very convincing and and by and large the character be very likable and mean you will be root for them . so and i will recommend shiver whole heartedly and but it be not for the faint of heart . it will probably disgust conservative viewer and and i understand totally that the idea of a movie that about the spread of a mutant parasite that turn you into a brain dead rapist be probably not gon na be for everyone and but if you dig intelligent horror and especially that of the 60 and 70 and shiver will probably be a movie you will really dig .
