The Brood (1979) is a Canadian psychological horror film from writer-director David Cronenberg. The story follows a father’s attempt to protect his young daughter while navigating a complex custody dispute with his mentally unstable ex-wife, who is under the care of an unconventional psychotherapist. As a string of violent incidents unfolds, deeper questions about the nature of trauma, repression, and emotional control emerge. Set against a backdrop of cold clinical experimentation and personal breakdowns, the film steadily builds tension while exploring unsettling ideas about the human mind and body. Known for its disturbing imagery and thematic intensity, The Brood has earned a lasting reputation as one of Cronenberg’s most provocative early works. The film features Oliver Reed, Samantha Eggar, and Art Hindle in leading roles.
