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.

Really don’t get why people think this is so special. This isn’t me trying to be negative, I genuinely don’t understand. If you make a prediction vague enough, anything is considered “ahead of its time”. People have been bitching that media violence was a problem since silent…

I liked the concept but bruhhh…. I lost the plot midway, since there were so many plotholes and stuff.

the plot is very ahead of its time, it feels like a david lynch movie. the effects were also very impressive for the time and disturbing

Just rewatched this morning and I already feel like I need to rewatch it again for further analysis 🧐🧐🧐 one day I will understand all on my own
