I agree TD. It's a thoroughly repellent film with no redeeming features whatsoever. Snuff 102 is even more repulsive.

I just finised watching The Brood, what a great ending!!! Richard Burton is great in it, he overacts just enough for the part.

Anyone know how much difference there is between the UK and US version on the anchr bay 2 disc, I watched the US.

Doesn't beat my current favourite Cronenberg though which is Scanners, but I havent seen all of his films yet.

Don't you mean Oliver Reed? Admittedly their alcohol consumption was similar.

It's about 30'ish secs. In the R-rated (ie UK cinema) print the 'cub licking' is reduced, as is the malleting of the old woman. The shots of the dead Susan Hogan were also shortened (pool of blood behind her head was just briefly glimpsed).

I totally agree mate. His earlier work was MUCH better than his newer stuff, IMO. I couldn't really get into Crash, but he is definetly one of the best directors. The Fly, The Brood, Shivers and Videodrome being my favs

"The Hearse"This is quite a good little film of the "is she going mad again or is it real"school of horror.It has some nicely drawn characters,a couple of good sub-plots and a great looking hearse.

absolutely, and even more definately if you like uschi digard

the combination of uschi and the fact its directed by the cinematographer of 'twin peaks' drew me in...

also, something weird titles seem to be half the price now on amazon marketplace that they used to be...
