Videodrome

When diving into a Cronenberg film, there is no doubt that it will definitely be an unsettling dive into the horrific nature that comes from surreal and unnatural. Now even though I am rather new to the Cronenberg’s viewing experience with having only seen “The Fly”, nothing would have prepared me for how Horrific and relevant this film would be. Its deceptive nature from the hallucinatory to the psychologically challenged reality is something that went beyond my understanding. Max Renn’s endless torture brought wave after wave of questions that left my brain dazed and endlessly searching for resolutions. I absolutely loved Cronenberg’s technological and artistic work on this film.

Its bizarre nature brings a sense of disgust and unnatural appeal to the screen and the actors performances which left my insatiable thirst for more of the story to be filled. I await to see where my viewing experience will go with David Cronenberg’s filmography.

Cronenberg uses the fears of television to manipulate an audience as a starting off point for a conspiracy thriller curled around his favorite topics: the response of the body human to technology, and disease and mutation as evolution.

david cronenberg is a brilliant master of the surreal
this film makes you question reality and our relationship to the media we consume, although then it was tv, now it is even more poignant because we have all the information we could ever want in the palm of our hands

Had me then lost me what the fuck
