i think the brood is better than shivers. but not much more than that. still, it's cronenberg so it's going to be worth watching at least once.
I didn't necessarily love Scanners either apart from that one scene. It's been 15 years or so since I've seen it though.

yeah, those three are lesser cronenberg. or lesser 70s-80s cronenberg.

You never really see a good hunchback anymore. When did the hunchback go out of style?
after disnay made it wholesome?
Is the hunchback something they can now fix?

I've always been morbidly curious about eXistenZ. Maybe I should give that a look one of these days.

Ah, forgot that was Cronenberg. Also seen that one, though I remember very little about it.
