Great effects for a 70s movie, the story is a little awkward at times but it’s still a fun watch

Bizarre horror movie, not my favorite Cronenberg film but worth a watch if you’re a fan

I became obsessed with this movie long before I ever saw it just based on the synopsis. And eventually, I saw it and it didn’t disappoint.

Haven’t been this creeped in a while. Boasts major Child’s Play vibes (or I suppose that would be reversed!). Genuinely scary.

Cronenberg's first dive into the psychology of humans and stylistic body horror. Good watch if you're a fan of his early works.
