Videodrome

Sci-fi horror filmmaker David Cronenberg's (Scanners) diabolical invader is a television show that seduces and controls its viewers. Featuring rock star Deborah Harry (in her first major film) as a kinky hostess, James Woods as a cable programmer looking for the ultimate in viewing thrills, and special make-up effects by Oscar-winner Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London, Star Wars), Videodrome is a pulsating science fiction nightmare about a world where video can control and alter human life.

Critic Reviews:

• " Everything in ‘Videodrome’ calls for the viewer seduced by the film's proposal to irretrievably surrender to its overwhelming visual personality. " – Sergio Benítez

• " Videodrome shows us a world of our making should we continue a dangerous relationship with media, its various mediums, the images it puts into our brains. " – C.H. Newell

• " Envisions a coming world of authoritarian entertainment. " – Josh Larsen
