Is their any creepy kid movie better than David Cronenberg's The Brood? I mean the guy virtually created his own sub-genre with Body Horror, by infusing elements of science with existential body dis-figuration...and all kinds of crazy psychological stuff. What he did with The Brood, and its unforgettable Terror Tykes, is simply masterful.
The Brood is basically about a crazy doctor that hypnotizes some crazy chick into breeding mongoloid monster kids on her tummy. I think that sums it up just about perfectly.
These Terror Tykes will attack anyone if they sense anger coming from their "Mother", which they do psychically by the way. So really, if you piss mom off, you're going to have a gang of crazy midgets trying to bite you to death. Is there anything more terrifying than a woman's mood being able to kill you? No, no there is not.
The Master Says- The Brood is an all time classic that needs to be a part of anyone's horror repertoire. As far as terrifying children go, it doesn't get much better than this. If you don't know this movie, you need to become familiar with it. Real familiar... like over-eager date familiar. That's right. Touch it. No means yes.
