Shivers

We watched Shivers again tonight (well, again for me, Mocuar hadn't seen it) and I'd forgotten how good it was.

Supposedly a horror film, to me it has a strong Thelemic subtext. To quote one of the characters:

Everything is erotic, everything is sexual. You know what I mean? . . . even old flesh is erotic flesh. That disease is the love of two alien kinds of creatures for each other. That even dying is an act of eroticism. That talking is sexual. That breathing is sexual. That even to physically exist is sexual.

I've always liked Cronenberg's films. Even the most grotesque of them is essentially life-positive, if you look beneath the surface.
