This was David Cronenburg's second film and features some of the same cast ( and same ideas ) as Shivers. A girl is badly injured in a motorcycle accident just outside a plastic surgery facility and is treated with experimental skin grafts. When she comes to, she has a sort of carnivorous penis living in her armpit and needs to feed on blood to survive. Her victims devekop a form of rabies and mayhem ensues. The acting is terrible but it's got good pace and decent shocks.
Marilyn Chambers ( as Rose )
Sex : Rose uses her allure to ensnare most of her victims
Death : Rose is attacked by one of her own victims and this leads to her death. It's not very clear how.

Marilyn was a successful porn actress looking to cross over into mainstream films. This never really happened for her and she had returned to porn by 1980. Marilyn had problems with both the law and substance abuse but retained a high profile in the sex industry. She died of an aneurysm in 2009 aged 57.
Terry Schonblum ( as Judy )
Sex : No
Death : Dies following infection

This was Terry's own acting role.
Susan Roman ( as Mindy )
Sex : No
Death : Presumably after infection by Rose

This is one of Susan's few onsacreen roles but she is a hugely successful voice actress.
