Being terrified is just the beginning…

Shivers (1975) follows a physician in a modern apartment complex who investigates a brutal killing linked to experimental parasites. As the organisms spread through residents by physical contact, those infected begin attacking others and transmitting the condition throughout the building. This body horror film develops mounting pressure and growing unease, with contagion, loss of control, and destabilized social behavior shaping events.
