The Brood 1979

Streamed via HBO Max

A very disturbing look of the effects of divorce on children, the pain and trauma they have to endure and it also tackles the impact on adults. Cronenberg take that idea and succesfully manifest that horrifying experience on screen and make it feel effortless. The performance from Art Hindle, Samantha Eggar, and Oliver Reed is to die for! I felt personally connected to the characters they played. It's a slow burn but I just love the overall feel and there are some scares and tension build up as it progresses. I know it's Cronenberg's film but I wasn't prepared for the last third! So grotesque and nightmare-inducing! I love it!
