Wow, The Brood is far from David Cronenberg's best. Weirdly, I remember the advertisements from when it first came out. I was not allowed to see it, but I remember Keri Zelson and I making up our own stories based on the image in the advert. I know longer remember the details, but my version was a sort of modern day take on Beowulf, done as a modern horror movie, with a touch of Rosemary's Baby thrown in, if Rosemary had been a prime mover in the plot instead of a victim. I hadn't seen Rosemary's Baby either, but I'd heard about it. Not bad for a nine year old riffing off a movie poster. I can't remember Keri's version, alas.
