Videodrome

“Death to Videodrome. Long live the new flesh.” First time I visited Videodrome, I wasn’t prepared for it… though I was very fascinated, I was very disturbed (still am), and that clouded a lot of my viewing on the film. I’m happy I came back for a second viewing, because even in just 88 minutes, Videodrome has a lot to offer to its audiences. The relationship between tech and humanity, the slippery slope of exploitive media, control, etc. It is packed very tightly from one end to the other, yet never feels overstuffed.
