The Brood 1979

One of Cronenberg's best movies. Very creepy and strange ideas about the body.

This is a remarkably disturbing and weird movie. Literally nobody knows and does Body Horror like David Cronenberg. It is really very good.

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!

This movie is messed up on so many levels. This is definitely in my top 5 best horror movies of all time list. I forgot when was the last time I was truly appalled (in a good way) by watching a horror movie since The Exorcist and The Thing.

My second time watching this one, hoping I would like it more this time but unfortunately it’s still just ok for me. It just doesn’t pull my attention in well.

Unpleasant, pretentious and bad, it's just a personal opinion, it didn't leave me with any satisfaction and it's not only because of the unpleasantness, it's that outside of that it doesn't tell you anything, it pretends to be something, it's sold as something and you only get damaged potatoes with tomato sauce.

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.

Yeah the film had some bad acting, slow plot that at times didn't make sense but it kept me entertained and i wasn't bored..

Cronenberg's worst movie. With pretentious psychobabble and the director's usual fetish for body horror, this is a disjointed movie, marred with wooden acting performances.
