Such an underrated classic.
Anyone agrees?
The GROSS OUT factor is a 10.

David Cronenberg has done better, but for his first movie that was done on a poverty budget it was fairly good. Yeah I agree that the gross out factor was high, as well as some other disturbing content.

Have not seen it for many years, but ended up with a 6/10 rating, and remember that it featured some very chilling and creepy scenes, which I think is quite impressive, so early on and how Cronenberg managed to do so with probably a very small budget as well. Need to give it a re-watch and also check up on Rabid, as I am not sure if I have seen that one, which is kind of a bummer, as I have had it in my movie collection for over 10 years now.

Good and sleazy, the whole thing looks like a '70s porn set that needs an exterminator to show up (and not tear off his clothes). Pretty primitive by Cronenberg's standards, but highly entertaining. 7/10

Well it is certainly an interesting idea and rather creepy. Can't say I rush to rewatch it. I like the Brood best of his tax credit films but even that I do not seek to rewatch too often given how gross it is.

Horrifically good. I haven't seen it since IFC used to show it. It makes your stomach feel weird and queasey and almost ache.
Can you imagine gaving one of those things in your gut? Looked so painful and believe me i'm no stranger to debilitating, gassy gut aches ahurk!
What an interesting idea when it comes to da ending. Instead of a world overrun with zombies or kill happy maniacs da world ends in a writhing, sweaty rapey orgy. Da entire world population will eventually be infected by da parasites and turned into raging nymphomaniacs dat will literally fuck until complete exhaustion and eventually death.

The Criterion DVD/blu-ray release is worth getting.
