Plot

A therapist's patient gives birth to monstrous children.

Sinekatalog’s take

David Cronenberg's body-horror chiller links psychotherapy and monstrous births. Oliver Reed is menacing, and the film's raw, personal dread, drawn from the director's divorce, still unsettles.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
