It has more than a fair share of exploitation, but thats the very idea this unnerving techno-reality mystery seeks to explore.

"Death to Videodrome! Long live the new flesh!" David Cronenberg is an unpredictable force that even after watching most of his films, you still don't get use to the usual trademarks. In "Videodrome", he focus on what viewers enjoy the most in entertainment. Sex in romance, violence in horror, and the mystery that drives the plot forward. He sometimes knows us too well, it's scary. Even after it's over the movie leaves you questioning and having this dark impression on you. Everything is f**ked up and you can't help to look on. TV messes up the mind, but movies can make you maniacs.

A pot-pourri of interesting ideas and striking imagery that never really satisfyingly explores its concepts. It is strangely compelling viewing though.

This film has managed to be even more relevant today than it was over two decades ago. Watching it now, you get this creepy feeling knowing that most of what is predicted about culture has actually came true. Smart, inspired weirdness of the highest quality. Worth repeated viewings.

Like many Cronenberg films, Videodrome starts fairly linearly and then deviates into hypnotic and surrealistic territory. I can't say that it's a film you enjoy watching, but the visuals are raw, often gory, and intentional and the film raises many intriguing issues and themes related to consumption of media and, specifically, of violence in media. Worth a watch.

Watching this film today, you'll see how right Cronenberg was about the way this world is changing. It's like an eerie premonition - out world isn't quite as bad - but it's not that far off either. It's one that leaves you thinking.
