Rose develops a taste for human blood after undergoing experimental plastic surgery, and her victims turn into rabid, blood-thirsty zombies who proceed to infect others. David Cronenberg’s follow-up to his slug-centric debut Shivers showcases his distinct aesthetic signature, which includes disturbing visuals that depict deformed human flesh, body transformation and mutation, disease and a plethora of symbolic sexual imagery. It’s fitting, then, that the role of the almost-sexual vampire Rose was perfectly cast by Marilyn Chambers, who became a star following her role in the infamous porn film Behind the Green Door. Watch out for the unfortunate Santa Claus in the mall.
