has anyone seen Cronenberg's '70s flick 'Shivers?'

Thematically similar to Shivers, it seems., without the benefit of having seen Teeth. Cronenberg's is certainly dated now, but helped initially put him on the map. Though I do not anticipate a release of Teeth will make it to my home of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware (Dela-where?), I eagerly await its arrival on DVD.

I cannot wait to see Teeth!!!

Shivers or They Came from Within; a completely excellent and unsettling film. A great part by Barbara Steele.

The effects may be dated as you would expect, but Cronenberg's exploration of the themes of invasion, mutation, and complete take over, etc. continue through much of his work. Rabid  ( don't get too close to Marilyn's underarm, thoroughly nasty indeed ) may offer a good segueway to Teeth. Casting,Marilyn Chambers,  one of the biggest porn stars at the time, in a role full of sexual undertones seemed perfectly fitting.

From what I read about Teeth, it operates on  literal and metaphorical levels and hell, maybe allegorical level too as do many of Cronenberg's films.

That's right almost forgot about Marylin's probably the last person I'd want to tickle (for oh-so-many reasons, now that I think about it). Is there a body part Cronenberg has not managed to turn into some sexual and/or voracious beast (Videodrome = the original Teletubbies!, Crash = James Spader, the ultimate leg man)?

Sorry, I know this is getting off topic of Teeth, but the film does seem to be rooted deep into Cronenbergian territory.
