Rabid

1977 · Canada/USA · 87m

Cronenberg gives Marilyn Chambers a blood-feeding stinger. Montreal falls apart around her.

Shivers

Cronenberg's debut. A phallic parasite turns a luxury apartment tower into an orgy of the infected.

The Brood

Cronenberg turns a divorce into monsters. Rage made flesh, and it is about his own custody battle.

The exploding head made Cronenberg bankable. The film around it is smarter than that scene.
