"The weak-stomached won't make it through the first half."

For something this potentially silly to work, the actors need to play it completely straight. This is a serious horror film. By the second half of this movie, all suspension of disbelief is pretty much in Cronenberg's hands. You accept all of it, thanks to the humanity and authentic touch of this skilled director and actors. Pity and fear mix with revulsion as we see what Seth is becoming. It's difficult to take, but it's as hard not to watch. A brilliant horror movie.
