Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill's pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work -- which he doesn't remember writing.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A nightmarish fever dream where reality dissolves into grotesque body horror and shifting landscapes, guided by a deadpan protagonist who may or may not be in control of what's happening. Cronenberg adapts Burroughs' unfilmable novel into a deliberately disorienting experience that prioritizes aesthetic excess and visceral unease over coherent narrative.
