Soooooooo Boooooorrrrrrring.


I love and respect Cronenberg (especially as a Canadian), but there's certain films of his that are like watching paint dry.

I gotta disagree. There's a tense mood to the film. And Oliver Reed is very captivating.

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

And I have to disagree with you. Oliver was indeed captivating and the film had "some" tense moments,but it dragged on :/

It’s 90 minutes long, Oliver Reed is mesmerising whenever he’s on screen, the psycho kids are disturbing and mysterious, and the ending has some of Cronenberg’s most horrific bio-horror.

If that bores you then that has worrying implications for today’s attention spans.
