More Reviews of Videodrome

David Cronenberg's Videodrome is great…

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

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…

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

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

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

Death to Videodrome! Long live the new flesh…

One of well known organic-mental horror opus of David Cronenberg…

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

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