The Brood (1979)

A film that explores the manifestations of Rage and the violent impact it has on society, particularly the family unit, in an unconventional way.
It’s a candid blend of autobiographical realism and fantastical psychological horror that turns the intimate into something perverse, as only David Cronenberg can.
Ollie Reed is perfectly cast as a doctor that dabbles in some rather odd therapy techniques. His primary subject, Samantha Eggar, gives a performance that will shock and repulse most viewers.
