David Cronenberg's fourth feature, continuing his meditation on horrific transformations of the human body. The film follows a woman who, after being injured in a motorcycle accident and undergoing experimental surgery, develops an orifice under one of her armpits. The orifice hides a phallic stinger that she uses to feed on people's blood. Her victims become rabid zombies whose bite spreads the disease, leading to a murderous, citywide pandemic.

Set and shot on location in Toronto.
