maybe one of my favs from Cronenberg. so many incredible scenes: umbrella splat, bathtub and that final swimming pool scene. phallic, gruesome, deranged, forbidden and… funny (or was that just me?). obsessed with the high rise and the carpeted toilet cover (ew). the 1970s…

Metacritic
It's apparent that someone connected with They Came From Within has an impertinent sense of humor even though the film is so tackily written and directed, so darkly photographed and the sound so dimly recorded, that it's difficult to stay with it.

The New York Times
A paranoid, prurient sexual nightmare.
