01
Rabid
Why this pick
Cronenberg again turns bodily violation into social contagion, with the same chilly Canadian texture, escalating outbreak logic, and discomfort with desire and infection.

01
02
The Brood
Why this pick
Its clinical, suburban unease and aggressively physical horror extend Shivers’ interest in repressed emotion becoming a literal threat to everyone nearby.
03
Society
Why this pick
A polished affluent community conceals grotesque biological corruption; it matches Shivers’ class satire, invasive body horror, and steadily mounting sense that normality is contaminated.
04
The Bay
Why this pick
This faux-documentary outbreak nightmare shares Shivers’ ecology of infection: everyday residents become evidence of an expanding, deeply unpleasant biological crisis.
05
Infection
Why this pick
A sealed hospital, sickly green imagery, and an unexplained contagion create a similarly claustrophobic descent from professional routine into corporeal panic.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
At Starliner Towers, a modern high-rise apartment complex on Starliner Island located just outside Montreal, smarmy manager, Merrick, welcomes prospective tenants. In one of the apartments, Dr. Emil Hobbes attacks a young woman wearing a school uniform called Annabelle. Hobbes strangles her to death, slices open her stomach, pours acid into the wound and then commits suicide.
