Summary
In a sleek, self-contained luxury apartment complex on an island near Montreal, a scientist's experiment with a parasitic organism intended to replace failing human organs goes catastrophically wrong. The slug-like parasites, which provoke uncontrollable sexual and violent urges in their hosts, spread rapidly from tenant to tenant, turning the building's residents into frenzied carriers. David Cronenberg's debut feature builds dread as a lone doctor tries to contain the outbreak.
