The Brood (Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray)

Blu-Ray. A disturbed woman is receiving a radical form of psychotherapy at a remote, mysterious institute. Meanwhile, her five-year-old daughter, under the care of her estranged husband, is being terrorized by a group of demonic beings. How these two story lines connect is the shocking and grotesque secret of this bloody tale of monstrous parenthood from David Cronenberg, starring Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggar. With it's combination of psychological and body horror, The Brood laid the groundwork for many of the director's films to come, but it stands on it's own as a personal, singularly scary vision. Features New, restored 4K digital transfer of Cronenberg's 1970 feature Crimes of the Future, supervised by the director, plus a 2011 interview with Cronenberg about his early career.
