Ah, the joys of giving birth

Personally, I believe new born babies can be pretty scary. They look so alien to me. After the doctor wipes off the streaks of blood and fluid from their bodies, then their cute. Anyways, this picture is from a scene in the movie, The Brood. In it, a psychotherapist, Oliver Reed, encourages his patients to allow their negative emotions (rage, fear, etc.) to cause their bodies to undergo radical physical change. A man verbally abused by his father develops welts over his body as a way of expressing his pain. Another patient develops lymphatic cancer, supposedly a manifestation of his self-hatred.

In this scene, it causes a woman, Samantha Eggar, to parthenogenetically give birth to strange, mutated children. She establishes a telepathic bond with them. Then the kids proceed to act out whatever negative emotions the mother is feeling at the time, with disastrous consequences when her therapist brings those emotions to the surface.
