Leave your thoughts about The Brood.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonOne of the great filmmaker's best films, and a stylistic -- if not budgetary -- breakthrough. |
| Boston GlobeMichael Blowen[Cronenberg's] rapid fire direction keeps you bouncing back and forth between laughter and shock with only minor stops for explanatory dialogue and his satirical sophistication never stoops to cheap parody. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerMay be the most damning movie ever made about psychiatry. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickthe horrors are simultaneously literal and allegorical, springing from a deep emotional well that transcends the bounds of conventional drama |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeOne of Cronenberg's most compelling and unsettling works. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonUndoubtedly [Cronenberg's] best from this period and also the most troubling. |
| CineVueDaniel GreenThe Brood sees the undisputed king of body horror honing his visceral eye, whilst at the same time offering up several truly iconic images that have quite clearly endured. |
| EmpireKim NewmanGenuinely disturbing horror but with Cronenberg producing a slightly deeper edge in his portrait of a troubled family. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawA definitive metaphor for the coldness and cruelty of acrimonious divorce. |
| New YorkerMichael SragowCronenberg’s movie was an early showcase for his tense formal style and intellectual Grand Guignol. He displays a true shock-meister’s instinct by saving the worst for last. The result is a cinematic bad dream that generates recurring nightmares. |
