May 3, 2010 - Videodrome

Another nifty film by a filmmaker I really like.

(72) Videodrome (1983): Another installment from David Cronenberg. I'm really starting to like his films, and with the exception of Eastern Promises I've liked them all so far. This film stars James Woods and Deborah Harry in a very strange tale of low-budget cable TV programming, S&M snuff broadcasts, and hallucinations about these things. The material is a little bit dated but the story is timeless, and goes right along with Cronenberg's other films, Scanners and Existenz. Worth watching if you're a fan of this filmmaker, otherwise you might wonder what you've just watched. If you're feeling adventurous then this might be a good one to grab from Netflix.

2.5 Stars
