Synopsis:

A dark design from the mind of David Cronenberg (Scanners, The Fly, Eastern Promises), internationallyacclaimed exponent of psychological horror, The Brood is a chillingly twisted masterpiece of visceral intensity, considered by many as one of the scariest and terrifying films of all time. Dr.Hal Raglan (Oliver Reed, Gladiator) experiments with "Psychoplasmics", a radical therapy designed to release pent-up emotions in his patients. He keepshis bestand brightest patient, ex-wife Nola (Samantha Eggar, Doctor Dolittle), in isolation. But as she successfully vents her rage and expels her demonsduring the sessions a series of brutal murders occur outside the institute. What is the connection between Raglan's methods and these monstrous killings. The answer will unleash a whole new breed of terror! Presented totally uncut, this shocking thriller, considered one of Cronenberg's most compelling and unsettling works, explores the inner-monster and how misdirected rage can literally take on a life of its own.

A man's wife is under the care of an eccentric and unconventional psychologist who uses innovative and theatrical techniques to breach the psychological blocks in his patients. When their daughter comes back from a visit with her mother and is covered with bruises and welts, the father attempts to bar his wife from seeing the daughter but faces resistance from the secretive psychologist. Meanwhile, the wife's mother and father are attacked by strangely deformed children, and the man begins to suspect a connection with the psychologist's methods.

A man tries to uncover an unconventional psychologist's therapy techniques on his institutionalized wife, while a series of brutal attacks committed by a brood of mutant children coincides with the husband's investigation.
