Over 4 decades later a remake of this was made - a good time to revisiti this or in my case watch it for the first time. This does show its age a little bit, but it still is disturbing for all the right reasons. Cronenberg made quite some strange movies and depending on your taste you will love them or be annoyed by them and what they are showing.
This is not for the faint hearted and for the time it was made, it has quite some gruesome effects. We may not get to know the main character in this before the incident happens, but we get to see a lot of and from her after the fact. Cronenberg does also like to give some shout outs to Giallo or female vampirism and generally sensual or even sexual (or rather lethal) penetration. So again, I'm sure some will be outraged (understandably so from their own moral viewpoints), but if you can stomach that, you are in for a treat
