The Movie: The Brood (1979)
What Is It?:
Samantha Egger’s abusiveness toward her kid and obsession with a faddish
therapist cause her to birth a bunch of murderous anger babies. David
Cronenberg’s divorce births his own murderous anger baby called The Brood, which offsets its own
absurdities and misogyny with Grand Guignol outrageousness and a serious
examination of the awful cycle of abuse.
Why Today?: Today
is Biological Clock Day. Hope you don’t make any anger babies!
