Shivers, initially titled Orgy of the Blood Parasites (why did they change it), is about Dr. Emil Hobbes (Fred Doederlein), who somehow managed to get grants to make a parasite that will be beneficial to people.

Plus some other stuff about religion and gender. Actress Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) has a problem. Several strange things happening around her young daughter Regan (Linda Blair), such as her daughter’s new behavior. As if she’s been possessed by a demon.
