i really enjoy the brood. it's grim, disgusting, and totally out there, even for a cronenberg film. i really have a lot of fun watching this one, and even find it quite rewatchable. i'm a little surprised to see this one offered up to the "movie bashing" thread.

I have seen some comments about people not liking it for some reason. Maybe that is why _V_ has it up.

I can't bash it.... I dig The Brood.
Cronenberg is a good filmmaker.

He's probably my FAVORITE filmmaker, so you all know I won't bash it. ;) Not my favorite Cronenberg film, but it is up there, its quite....disturbing.

LOVE it! One of my all-time favorites!

i don't really see any opposition to the brood being called a great film.

any haters wish to speak up?

Obviously the haters dont know about this thread or they would have, by now.;)

Anyway, since it has got a positive response largely, I m going to skip it (for now) and move to another controversial entry which people have very strong love-hate relationship with.

It has been hailed for its uniqueness in plot, yet bashed for poor execution and direction.

But what exactly is wrong with


Cube?




Bring it on!

Not bad, but not great. there were some cool scenes (such as the splicing scene), but the math threw me off. Math and horror just don't mix.

The acting was sooooo bad... each character was a walking cliche, but I really loved the movie.
