Cronenberg’s most fully realised ‘70s film, a cathartic, deeply harrowing mind/body horror analogy for a messy divorce. Everything about it seethes with barely contained rage, from the screeching dissonance of Howard Shore’s score to Oliver Reed’s intense psycho-plasmic therapy sessions to the ghastly sights of deformed children smashing people’s heads in with mallets and crystal balls.

"A horror entry which casts children in the role of malevolent little monsters... an extremely well made, if essentially unpleasant, shocker."

"A strong theme, unfortunately undercut by faulty pacing and odd lapses in the tension."
