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…

VIDEODROME is a sharp blend of social commentary and the body transformation subgenre…

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

It would be interesting to see if Cronenberg were to remake Videodrome set in the present day, how different it would be.The central theme…

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

David Cronenberg's Videodrome is great…

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…

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

Touching on ideas that director David Cronenberg would later bring back again in a different way in eXistenZ such as alternate realities, flesh…
