Review of The Brood (1979) by Tatsuhito K — 05 Feb 2017
This is one of the few Cronenberg films that left me perplexed, one that made me think, "Okay, I'm a dumb person because I didn't understand what the hell it was all about." Cronenberg said in many occasions that this is his Kramer vs.
Kramer, and I can definitely see the similarities. But just because I'm a big fan of his work, doesn't mean I'll love every single one of his film. It has some intriguing ideas and the performances are solid, but overall I was let down by the execution.
Not a terrible film, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
