.What could be better than Jeremy Irons?
Two Jeremy Irons playing a dual lead role as identical twin gynecologists!
The confident twin seduces women who he then passes on to his shy brother when he tires of them. Drug abuse, delusions and mutant women with abnormal genitalia guaranteed.

Film: The Brood (Dir. David Cronenberg) (1979)

Oliver Reed (!!) stars as an unconventional therapist who encourages Samantha Eggar to undergo “psychoplasmic” therapy – whereby mental and emotional trauma takes physical form – and produces scores of deformed, murderous children who prey upon her young (human) daughter. Made after a difficult custody battle between Cronenberg and his former wife, The Brood is perhaps the director’s most cathartic and autobiographical film.

Film: Existenz (1999)
19 Jul 2009, 7:30 p.m.
Cronenberg returns to original-screenplay work with the crafty virtual-reality adventure eXistenZ (1999), which glistened with spinal bioports and sticky-icky “game pods”. Released around the same time as The Matrix, the movie appeared as the smarter, scrappier arthouse cousin to the self-important blockbuster.
