* TearJerker: For all the {{Squick}} and BodyHorror, many people find it one of the most moving of Cronenberg's films. Cronenberg talked of one film executive who said, after seeing it, "Why do I feel so ****ing sad?" Cronenberg believed that something in the film said something about the intrinsic sadness of the human condition.
