The prove that too much television is bad for you…

First of all, I may be a little bias when writing this, as this is one of my favorite films OF ALL TIME…

envisions a coming world of authoritarian entertainment…

One of Cronenberg's best hands down. A film with many layers and a brilliant social commentary on technology and desensitization…

Still stunningly relevant, a quality horror with great performances. Silly to think it's 34 years old…

An all time favourite of mine. Signature Cronengerg body horror oozes from the screen and evokes a domestic transposition of HR Geiger…

It has more than a fair share of exploitation, but thats the very idea this unnerving techno-reality mystery seeks to explore…

Una diminuta e interesante pieza de la artesanÃa de Serie B del excelso Cronenberg…

David Cronenberg's Videodrome is great…

Well. Looks like I'm not into kinky torture sex. Case closed. Some random notes I took until half way through: Rick Baker…
