IndieWire -
Cronenberg has become known as a purveyor of body horror, in which the monstrous arises from within rather than without. The Brood cunningly turns this motif into a metaphor for psychotherapy itself, which seeks to dredge up and cast out the monsters haunting the unconscious.

The New Yorker -
Cronenberg’s movie was an early showcase for his tense formal style and intellectual Grand Guignol. He displays a true shock-meister’s instinct by saving the worst for last. The result is a cinematic bad dream that generates recurring nightmares.

Empire -
Genuinely disturbing horror but with Cronenberg producing a slightly deeper edge in his portrait of a troubled family.

CineVue -
The Brood sees the undisputed king of body horror honing his visceral eye, whilst at the same time offering up several truly iconic images that have quite clearly endured.

Slant Magazine -
Undoubtedly [Cronenberg's] best from this period and also the most troubling.
