David Cronenberg Collection: Shivers / Rabid / The Dead Zone

This boxset includes 3 iconic films from master horror director David Cronenberg. "Shivers" (1975) - Starliner Island is an idyllic community. Cut off from the rest of the world, the luxury apartment block affords its occupants the chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city. But this isolation is to prove fatal when a new breed of parasite - a combination of aphrodisiac and venereal disease which arouses sexual aggression in its hosts - is let loose in the building, resulting in an orgy terror and mayhem. "Rabid" (1977) - When beautiful Rose (Marilyn Chambers) is badly injured in a motorcycle crash, Dr. Keloid, who is in the process of developing a revolutionary new type of skin-graft, seizes the opportunity to test out his as yet unproven methods. The surgery appears successful and Rose seems restored to full health. But all is not as it should be - Rose has been transformed into a contagious blood-sucker, endowed with a bizarre, needle-like protrusion in her armpit with which she drains the blood from those unfortunate enough to be in her vicinity. "The Dead Zone" (1983) - Christopher Walken stars in this film adaptation of a Stephen King thriller about a man with the ability to read the thoughts of others. A gift that feels more like a curse than a blessing. With Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom and Martin Sheen as a very dangerous political candidate.
