‘Being terrified is just the beginning!’ threatened the tag line of David Cronenberg’s feature debut. Also known as The Parasite Murders, this heady mix of body horror and social criticism features venereal, slug-like creatures on the rampage through ultra-modern, luxury high rise apartments, turning the residents into sex-crazed zombies. Look out for scream queen Barbara Steele among the cast.
