Relatively decent slice of Canadian horror, perhaps only well-known because it is David Cronenberg's first feature film. It's very low-budget and feels it, with the amateurish acting and cheap sets, but that doesn't take away from the obvious talent shown behind the camera. It's a rather interesting take on the zombie formula - while managing to be even more disgusting - with a Montreal-in-the-1970s style. It's fairly scary, very gross, and first and foremost just a stepping stone to Cronenberg's later classics. Only for fans of the director, though.
