I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON EXPANDING AND REVISING SOME OF THE BEST PIECES FROM MOON IN THE GUTTER AT MY OFFICIAL SITE, NOSTALGIA KINKY. THIS NEW PROJECT CAN BE ACCESSED BY CLICKING THE PICTURE BELOW.
Just recently saw The Brood for the first time and it was like a slap upside the head. I can't remember the last time I was so creeped out. I wrote a brief post on it at Retrospace.
BTW: I rented The Brood thanks to your Rabid post.
Thanks Gilligan, I will check out your post on it. Thanks for the link. The Brood is incredibly disturbing isn't it and is still packs a punch. It always amazes me that Scanners is so well known among the early Cronenberg films as I think it isn't as nearly as great as Shivers, Rabid or The Brood (or even Fast Company for that matter)...anyway, thanks again.
I think The Brood is Cronenberg's best film. I really do. It just terrifies me.
I didn't like Videodrome the first time I saw it and then, years later, someone I worked with urged me to rewatch it. I was not disappointed. I think maybe I was just not ready for all that Cronenberg had to offer.

I really like this Videodrome box, but that might just be because it reminds me a lot of Vertigo. I should watch both of those again...
Thanks Jacob,
Yea that cover does resemble Vertogo doesn't it? I love Criterion's design for it...conceptually just brilliant.
