Videodrome showcases the horror of technology, sex and humanity as only David Cronenberg can…

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

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

I watched this film many times after it was released but saw it again the other night for the first time in about 30 years…

This is a really fun, often icky body horror film with some really interesting ideas and great practical effects…

This creepy 1983 movie is unlike sci fi films today, this films switches from reality to trippy mind games which grabs your attention fast…

O dono de um canal de televisão pouco conhecido recebe fitas de vídeo com conteúdo violento e sadomaso como uma sugestão de programação…

This is a transitional film for Cronenberg…

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

The trouble with satire is sometimes you just have no idea what on earth is going on…
