One of David Cronenberg's best movies!
||Posted .The Brood is David Cronenbergs version of Kramer Vs. Kramer only more accurate (his words). Taking the idea of anger manifesting itself into deadly territories is a great idea and the film is peppered with several startling moments you aren't sure to forget anytime soon. The Criterion blu-ray is loaded with extras including Cronenberg's early short film Stereo. A must have!

It’s a blu ray
||Posted .Not really my cup of tea, but my sister is into some strange movies and this was a gift for her. Best Buy beat amazons price. It’s a Blu-ray, chances are of you are looking at this you already like the movie - so enjoy.
