Episode 310: 'The Brood' (1979)/'Inhabitants' (2025)

The most recent season of True Detective was the most divisive in the show’s history. The first one was universally praised, while the second caught a lot of heat. For whatever reason, the third season flew under the radar. We talk about our opinions of season four and the news surrounding the show’s future.Hammer Studios is an important part of horror history. It introduced aspects to vampire lore that is still seen today and its use of gothic sexuality and romance would inspire many filmmakers. They have been quiet for decades so the recent announcement has us both excited.David Cronenberg may not have invented body horror, but he is the same most associated with it. His early movies made with the help of the Canadian government are especially interesting. The DIY quality and balls to the wall attitude make them some of the most fun entries in his impressive catalogue. Still, it is fair to say that The Brood is not the best movie he has ever made. A disjointed affair that has trouble sticking the landing, the film is carried by some impressive performances. We may have been confused by what we saw, but did that prevent us from enjoying it?It seems like we have been working off of a list this year. We started with a vampire movie, moved on to alien invasions and have talked about a zombie apocalypse. So it only makes sense that we would review a haunted house flick. Especially one that has heavy religious themes.It is a shame that Inhabitants could not stick to a formula. The team behind it were more concerned with using a plot device they clearly had no knowledge about instead of actually writing a coherent film. The end result is a lead that seems aloof and unloving, a villain that seems justified in its actions, and a whole lot of nonsense.
