Review of Videodrome (1983) by Luke B — 03 Apr 2009
Cronenberg's disturbing but intelligent mind is brought to life in a visually original film. Videodrome is a disturbing social commentary, one that may be in a dated setting, but still holds relevance.
It questions the moral responsibility held by broadcasters, but also our responsibility as viewers. The twisted nature of the Videodrome can be likened to today's reality TV madness. Woods is exceptional in his role, a man whom has his reality questioned by what he sees, and what he sees becomes reality.
Wonderful effects bring it all to startling life and it's message is a caution rather than a preachy "Do this, don't do that". Plus vagina stomachs just have to be seen.
