Chicago Reader review:
David Cronenberg made his commercial debut with this aggressively
unpleasant 1975 horror film on the theme of sexual disgust. A
swinging-singles apartment building is overrun by slimy little creatures
who carry an exotic form of VD. Hard, if not impossible, to take, the
film nevertheless represents a major turning point in the genre—the
discovery of the body itself as a source of terror. Cronenberg's later
films are superior in technique, though not necessarily in intensity.
