The Brood 1979

The Horror films of the '70s have a very unique mood about them, and "The Brood" brings that same feel. You could lump this in with "The Omen" or "The Exorcist" and come away with the same vibe from that horrific decade. That's not to say "The Brood" is as good of a film as those, though.

This is kind of a slog and the characters are eccentric. It wasn't scary, and maybe that's just because it's 40+ years old. Times change. It does comment on broken marriages and the impact it has on the family, obviously children.

The ending is shocking and disturbing, you just need some patience to get there.
