Perhaps cronenberg's greatest accomplishment. James woods and deborah harry are wonderful…

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

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…

A classic that was decades ahead of its 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…

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

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

Television is a very dangerous device...it can be harmful to one's physical and mental health…

Innovative for its time This movie is a social commentary about television and its effect on society…
