I love me some early Cronenberg. Brood is very moody and the main element is disturbing. It doesn't go to the extremes of other Cron. of the period. Cinematography is delicious, Reed is a delight. Ending is unsatisfactory which ruins it's staying power.

As per typical Cronenberg, The Brood combines inner psychological turmoil with gruesome horror elements. The result here is pretty damn effective. The Brood improves upon Rabid, Cronenberg's precursor to The Brood, in a number of ways, including more focused direction, better acting, better music (Howard Shore's score is wonderfully well-suited), and a more real sense of dread and horror. The underlying themes (in this case surrogate motherhood) are also better illustrated.

Cronenberg constructs another sci-fi horror parable showing how the body and the unbalanced mind, conspiring together, can betray the human spirit. Well directed, with a great slow build-up. If you make it through to the end, I guarantee you that neither kindergartners in hoodies nor Samantha Eggar with ever look quite the same again.

Disgusting and revolting acts combined with disturbing murders give us the results of a movie that is truly chilling. Cronenberg continues onward with the body/mind/horror themes and succeeds greatly here. He unabashedly covers past and present parental issues, using his divorce as a springboard to give us a movie that is beyond the pale and very honest.

A repellent but resonant horror film that might have been that rarity -- a modern-day horror classic -- if some of the script's loopholes had been filled in.

What the hell was that? Damn! I don't know who is more traumatised, those child actors or myself. I've never really given Cronenberg much credit (he's always come off as too self-indulgent), but he sure knows how to illicit reactions in his audience. He just rattles around in your head and kicks things over. Anyone who can get me to barrack "Yeah, kill that fucking midget!" at a TV screen is doing something right.

I may be able to give this film a higher score after a re-watch, but for now I have to give it this score because I feel it gets off to a slow start and botches some of the early horror scenes. That being said as it gets near the end there is some really great stuff going on that makes this well worth a watch. I would highly recommend to fans of Cronenberg and suggest those who aren't familiar to see Videodrome, Dead Ringers, or The Fly first.

The concept of 'divorce' doesn't really push any of my buttons, so the central theme of this film wasn't that powerful to me. The physical manifestation concept was rather interesting, though it seems a bit mishandled. It just feels like more could have done with the ideas here. But I have to admit, this is the best 'licking a bloody fetus ripped from an outer-body meatsack' film I've seen. Beats that home video of my birth by a mile.

"A strange psychologist with a powerful personality and bizarre treatment techniques starts treating a deeply disturbed woman, channeling her anger that overwhelms her into unusual physical outlets. Her husband starts to suspect something is terribly wrong when her family and school-teachers are attacked by violent little disfigured creatures. Great horror; very creepy and disquieting."

Holy shit how strange was that. I mean I'm not that sensitive to violence but I had to drop a few points for that ending, I mean I'm all up for that fucked up shit but damn Crononberg you went in deeeeeeeep. A very underrated horror film; also probably the most fucked up look at divorce I've ever seen. The therapy sessions scenes are pretty amazing.

despite a few cheap jump scares in the early part of the movie, the screenplay really makes up for it. by making the horrors of divorce concrete, cronenberg touches a deep well of subconscious horror and gives every killing a deeper psychological meaning. it doesn't have his creepiest effects or the best acting, but it's a very interesting, well-told horror tale.

100 scariest moments my ass, this movie has a sixty minute boring crap lead up to what is supposedly a scary scene. it's not a bad direction job on cronenberg's part, but he wrote it with the skill of a horse jockey trying to man a space shuttle. so, yeah, if you find eating watermelon scary you'll probably crap yourself, but if not, don't bother.

Some movies are so angry and personal, that they kind of put you off on the first viewing. Then you watch them again, and realize just how angry and personal they are and you fall in love with them. The whole thing plays out as a sort of confessional horror film about divorce. Very painful, but very novel and quite brilliant..

Cronenberg will be the first one to tell you that this was a dark and depressing movie. No jokes. Not even gallows humor. It has some creepy little monster-kids in snowsuits. That's gotta be worth something, eh?

This film was just to ugly for me, everything was so 70s tacky and brown. Low budjet is a bad excuse in my book! The story is a very interesting psycological gem though, so this is one of the few movies I would love to see a remake of!
