Arguably the best and most personal of director David Cronenberg's early films, The Brood is an extremely unsettling horror film about familial disintegration and emotional trauma taken to a monstrous extreme. Art Hindle (Black Christmas) stars as a man embroiled in a bitter custody struggle with his estranged wife (Samantha Eggar), who is undergoing therapy at psychiatrist Oliver Reed's controversial institute. Reed's treatment causes his patients to give form to their inner conflicts, and Eggar--whose psyche is at the boiling point from childhood abuse as well as the custody trial--creates a horde of homicidal humanoid children who enact bloody revenge on anyone who has threatened their 'mother.' Cronenberg's first feature with name actors and composer Howard Shore has its share of gruesome moments, but the film's subtext--how emotional violence impacts a family--is its most chilling aspect. --Paul Gaita

"The Brood" is a cold, creepy psychological horror film. This David Cronenberg masterpiece was shot against a dreary, snow blanketed Canadian background. Oliver Reed (star of Dan Curtis`s "Burnt Offerings" and a host of Hammer films including "Paranoiac"), Samantha Eggar ("Curtains" and "The Collector"), and Art Hindle (the original "Black Christmas") comprise a stellar 70s cast that provide great performances. There are several graphic, gory murder scenes. One in particular is the controversial ... Read More

The Brood is a very boring movie that is disgusting at times for no reason. The strongest point to this movie is the superb acting. Other than that, I found very little entertainment in this one. This is a hard movie to review becuase spoilers can easily be added but I'll speak on it very little. Oliver Reed plays a psychiatrist. One of his patients Nola Carveth leaves wounds on her young daughter during a visit. This results in her father taking action.

I liked Shivers well enough, I thought the Fly was pretty creepy, and I paid 7$ to see Eastern Promises. Ergo I am by no means anti-Cronenberg. However, the Brood is an utterly and unequivacably poor film. If anyone could please answer the following questions plausibly, be my guest--the comment link is at the bottom for a reason. Of course,if you like the film you'll probably just give me a negative feedback vote, but whatever.
Here are my questions (many spoilers) :

After hearing so much about this film, I decided to pick it up. After all, being somewhat of a Cronenberg fan, I should have already seen it. Cronenberg always seems to push the enevelope just one step further, and succeeds on many levels. This film is no exception. Its dark, depressing and downright grotesque. There is a lot of style and originality, however twisted and far fetched the premise is, it has a fair degree of suspense, keeping you grounded. This is not as gory as it could have been, however there is ... Read More
