Viewing Notes
Terror Tuesday event!
Loved this movie. It’s a slow burn, much like a lot of other Cronenberg films. So while it doesn’t have a ton of action I think it all pays off in the end.
That final scene with the wife licking the blood off the brood baby is something else!
Now I just need to see Rabid and Shivers and I think I’ll have seen all the big Cronenberg films.
