Shivers (1975) aka They Came Within Buy
the DVD
Directed by
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. This is definitely a cult classic with a noteworthy contribution
from Barbara Steele (whose shocking bathtub scene inspired the famous ad
artwork).
