Plot
Parasites turn the residents of a Montreal tower block into sex-crazed killers.
Sinekatalog’s take
David Cronenberg's early body-horror makes a Montreal apartment block a laboratory of lust and parasites. Cheap and nasty but sharp, it set the template for his later work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
