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

One of the greatest horrorfilms ever, story is still ahead of it's time…

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

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

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

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