The enduringly tense and gruesome body horror that marked a landmark in David Cronenberg’s early career.

After undergoing experimental skin-graft surgery for injuries from a motorcycle accident, a young woman in the Québec countryside develops a strange phallic growth on her body and an insatiable thirst for human blood—the only nourishment that will now sustain her. Hell-bent on satisfying her bloodlust, she leaves a trail of insane and uncontrollably aggressive victims, as the unknown virus engulfs North America in an orgy of frenetic violence.
