HorrorHound1975 – 7/10
“Cronenberg's early work is raw and unsettling. The parasites and the ensuing chaos are genuinely creepy. It's not perfect, but the atmosphere alone is worth the watch.”
ScreamQueen – 5/10
“Maybe I'm too desensitized now, but this felt more dated than scary. The acting is a bit stiff, and the gore is tame by today's standards. Still, it's interesting to see where Cronenberg started.”
ParasiteFan – 8/10
“I loved the concept and the slow descent into madness. The building becomes a character itself. Some scenes are genuinely disturbing, and I appreciate the social commentary about repressed desires.”
RetroTerror – 6/10
“As a fan of 70s horror, I dug the vibe and the practical effects. It feels like a precursor to many modern infection films. Not the scariest, but it has a certain charm.”
