Boring. Not sure why it's a top rated comedy. Too existential, and you'd have to be completely high to even find it marginally interesting…

C'est la période Kro par pack de 6 de David Kronenberg, affectueusement surnommé le Kronenbourg du cinéma de série B parce qu'il en faisait…

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

Very weird movie, so dont use your logic, because the story doesnt make much sense and is even ridiculous…

This is a transitional film for Cronenberg…

Perhaps cronenberg's greatest accomplishment. James woods and deborah harry are wonderful…

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

The prove that too much television is bad for you…

The films of David Cronenberg - at least the ones billed as products of the body horror subgenre - always achieve a certain sort of impressive…

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

Not as good as scanners or the fly. Weird lofi kind of film…
