Viewing Notes
Really good early Cronenberg. His cold, formal style creates an uneasy, menacing atmosphere. The killer kids are genuinely scary, as well as the body horror, which gives us a glimpse of films to come. I think I need to do a Cronenberg rewatch, because this one started a run of great films.
