This movie is messed up on so many levels. This is definitely in my top 5 best horror movies of all time list. I forgot when was the last time I was truly appalled (in a good way) by watching a horror movie since The Exorcist and The Thing.

My second time watching this one, hoping I would like it more this time but unfortunately it’s still just ok for me. It just doesn’t pull my attention in well.

One of Cronenberg's best movies. Very creepy and strange ideas about the body. This is a remarkably disturbing and weird movie. Literally nobody knows and does Body Horror like David Cronenberg. It is really very good.
