The Brood (1979)
Directed by David Cronenberg
4.1/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"92 minQuick Hit
The Brood rips like a flesh-crawling nightmare—nasty, uncomfortable, with zero interest in comforting you.
Full Take
The Brood leans hard into body horror energy, and David Cronenberg keeps the tone nasty without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. Messy in spots, still worth the ride.

This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
This one actually worked for me.
There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
idk 🤔
