Geez, Murph. I am falling woefully behind on my viewing as curated by yourself. I will have to carve out time to address this. Again, you write so well and your synthesis of disparate themes is impressive. Bravo again, friend.
You ain't the only one, brother. I'm doing a pair of essays right now and I have a backlog of about a half-dozen films to get through just to make a start on them.
If you're short of time, I believe Possession is the one to watch, as although The Brood is influential, it isn't as solid as later Cronenberg horror films. Possession is the post-punk overlord of psychodrama, and even beats Croneberg at his own body-horror game.
Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm sure you'll like the next one about some fairly recent Westerns - American and Aussie.
Speaking of psychodrama, have you seen Lucio Fulci's A Lizard In A Woman's Skin? Superb. I came to it by way of the killer Ennio Morricone soundtrack. If you're looking for psychedelic sexual horror with tribadist overtones, it can't be beat.

Looks pretty super, I'll chuck it on the watch pile for later.
