The Ultimate Experience of Inner Terror.
From famed writer-director David Cronenberg (The Dead Zone, The Fly) comes a chillingly twisted masterpiece of psychological horror. Oliver Reed (Gladiator) and Samantha Eggar (The Astronaut's Wife) star in this shocking, intense thriller about how misdirected rage can literally take on a life of its own.
Behind the walls of his secluded Somafree Institute, Dr. Hal Raglan (Reed) experiments with "Psychoplasmics," a controversial therapy designed to help release pent-up emotions in his patients. He keeps his star patient Nola (Eggar) in isolation, but as she vents her fury during their sessions, brutal murders befall the people she's angry with outside the institute. What is the connection between Raglan's methods and these monstrous killings? The answer will unleash a whole new breed of terror!

The scene where the mother bites open the sack holding the deformed baby, and then starts licking blood from it's head, is priceless, classic Cronenberg. Although this DVD is seriously lacking in "extras", it's still a welcome addition to anyones horror collection. So, F
