A good movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I always had a weak spot for David Cronenberg's work, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, it turned out to be one of these cheap Canadian horror movies he made at the beginning of his career but even though I didn't care much for the other ones he made ('Rabid', 'Shivers'), this one however still managed to grab me somehow. I mean,... read more
View all The Brood reviews
A disturbed woman is receiving a radical form of psychotherapy at a remote, mysterious institute. Meanwhile, her five-year-old daughter, under the care of her estranged husband, is being terrorized by a group of demonic beings. How these two story lines connect is the shocking and grotesque secret of this bloody tale of monstrous parenthood from David Cronenberg, starring Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggar. With its combination of psychological and body horror, The Brood laid the groundwork for many of the director’s films to come, but it stands on its own as a personal, singularly scary vision.

"9.12. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. David Cronenbergin omakohtaisesta ja perin mieltÀylentÀvÀstÀ avioerokuvasta ei hÀiritsevyys suoranaisesti kaikkoa uusintojen tai elÀmÀn etenemisen myötÀ. Ruumiillistuneen vihan teeman kuvaaminen pientÀ lasta muistuttavien mutanttien kautta aiheuttaa ns. tunteita. Viha tÀssÀ tapauksessa, joka nÀmÀ vihan lÀhettilÀÀt saa liikekannalle, ei ole tiedostettua silmitöntÀ tai epÀreilua kostonhimoa. Vaan enimmÀkseen tiedostamatonta ja ymmÀrrettÀvÀÀ "

"A man tries to uncover an unconventional psychologist's therapy techniques on his institutionalized wife, amidst a series of brutal murders. Early Cronenberg is a treat, his defining feature, later coined as "body horror", the mutation or mutilation of human bodies, is where the horror comes from just not knowing what the fuck you're looking at. This, mixed with the wholesome, backwoods, Cathy's Curse-esque Canadian-ness that could only be produced by low budgets and the 1970's makes for a ve"

" Date: 7/19/2021 Viewed: HBO Max Re-Watch Note: It's been years since I have seen this movie and I finally had the time to rewatch it. The Brood is not my favorite Cronenberg movie, but I still enjoy it. The Brood is a solid horror movie from the 1970s in my opinion. One of my favorite thing about The Brood is the atmosphere. I love how it feels cold and windy in my opinion. The cold atmosphere really captures the feeling of fall weather. You can feel the cold windy weather when watching this "

"Cronenbergin ahdistavassa sekoplÀjÀyksessÀ pesue epÀmuodostuneita lapsia lahtaa porukkaa. Cronenberg ei tyytynyt tekemÀÀn keskinkertaisia elokuvia, hÀn tahtoi jÀttÀÀ elokuvillaan arpia. Myös tÀssÀ elokuvassa on jotain piinaavaa ja hÀiritsevÀÀ, joka vielÀ rainan loputtuakin seuraa katsojaansa kuin varjo. "

RS: 50 Best Sci-Fi Movies of the 1970s (50 movies items)

"David Cronenberg turns existential dread into violent, tangible fear in this 1979 sci-fi-inflected thriller about an unorthodox psychologist who is able to manifest patients’ inner anger into physical beings. Horror fans will nerd out at the amorphous psycho-blobs that terrorize and kill the patient’s source of agony; everyone else will be incredibly disturbed by what the film has to say about parenthood, repressed emotions and good old-fashioned rage. Cronenberg would up the splatter quotie"
