      Himself - Host: [Roger on 'The Brood'] My dog this week is 90 minutes of bewildering boredom followed by 15 minutes of nauseating child monsters. It's called 'The Brood'. Oliver Reed stars as a weird scientist who runs something called The Institute for Psychoplasmics. His patients create these bodies outside of themselves and control them through sheer mindpower and his sickest patient, Samantha Eggar, has started giving birth to inhuman little clones. They're just disgusting little demons who run around in snowsuits and hammer first grade teachers to death. Well, she's given birth to about a dozen of these creatures before her husband catches on, he... doesn't catch on real quick, and then there's a bloody and a reprehensible conclusion. Why do so many horror movies take kids and turn them into monsters? Maybe its because they're too small to fight back.
