Synopsis
Dennis Cleg, nicknamed "Spider" by his mother, has been institutionalised with acute schizophrenia for some 20 years. Released into a 'halfway house' to help him integrate back into society, his mind goes back to his boyhood, and begins to visualise the events within his home that marked the inception of his mental illness. But as Spider pieces together his past, his grip on reality grows ever more tenuous, in this multi-award winning film directed by David Cronenberg.
Notes
- Based on the 1990 novel of the same name by the British novelist Patrick McGrath (b. 1950), who also wrote the screenplay.
