Low point of the franchise. We return to Gatlin and finally see he who walks behind the rows in human form. You will be disappointed…

More Reviews of Videodrome

Setting expectations low can sometimes make the most unpleasant experiences tolerable…

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

A prophetic tale about our relationship with technology and media, Videodrome balances camp with truly terrifying themes…

Without a doubt one of the weirdest and oddest movies I've ever seen…

Videodrome doesn't have the same well-written characters that The Fly (1986) did but it still has the power to draw us in due to its disturbing…

I love the practical FX, I still don't know how David Cronenberg made it but I have to say, good acting, best animation sequences…

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

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

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

Call me weird, but I don't see why people rave about this movie. I did not like it. Very boring IMO. I give the movie this, SFX was great…
