Excl: Brood Remake Closer to Birth

18 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Cory Goodman, screenwriter of next year's horror-actioner Priest , tells us the remake of David Cronenberg's The Brood that he is penning is alive and well. In fact, the producing team at Spyglass Entertainment has a director circling the project that he's excited about and an announcement is coming soon. Goodman added that he's taking another pass at the script which contemporizes Cronenberg's story. And, of course, it will feature malevolent tykes. In the original 1979 flick which starred Oliver Reed, Art Hindle and Samantha Eggar, a man tries to uncover an unconventional psychologist's therapy techniques on his institutionalized wife, while a series of brutal attacks committed by a brood of mutant children coincides with the husband's investigation.

David Cronenberg's The Brood Turns 30!

22 May 2009 10:39 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Can a lack of objectivity be a virtue? Art isn’t governed by the same rules as journalism, but the accepted wisdom is that the more adult a piece of art is, the less biased it is allowed to be. In “highbrow” cinema the assumption is that the subject or subjects should be presented in the clearest light possible.

Well, congratulations. It’s Mother’s Day, and you’re playing on the Fangoria website instead of calling your poor mother. But why should you worry? I mean she only fed you, clothed you, and let you know when you were slouching. You just go on about your day, and don’t worry about your poor mother.

Hopefully, you are now feeling sufficiently guilty and are currently handcrafting the world’s largest and most extravagant Mother’s Day card. But before you head down to the craft store for a crate of construction paper and a wholesale bag of pipe cleaners, lets reflect on that special breed of celluloid madre, the horror mother.

May we present our count of the top 10 horror mothers:
