The battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena: the Videodrome. -- Brian O'Blivion

 

VIDEODROME was released in 1983, written and directed by Candadian filmmaker David Cronenberg.  The story is about cable tv mogul Max Renn, who's made his niche in the soft-core market.  He's looking for the next big underground hit, something that will be profitable if it goes mainstream.  He thinks he wants Videodrome to be Civic TV's next big hit...

Movie for Saturday night: Videodrome. Supposedly, this is the first movie (1983) to use the web as a potential network of horror. The tagline: First it controlled her mind, then it destroyed her body? Long live the new flesh! ...

There are a million other things more worthy that I should really be blogging about right now, but Harvey Keitel as Gene Hunt? What in the holy hell?

Just watched this. Maybe the weirdest movie I've ever seen since Eraserhead. Beautiful.

VIDEODROME - aka Zonekiller, David Cronenberg, 1983
A site dedicated to David Cronenberg's Videodrome
Videodrome
Finally released in a widescreen video version (on DVD) and as crucial now as when it was first released, David Cronenberg's Videodrome is a dark parable for the television age as well as a horror movie about the very nature of horror movies. With clinical and allegorical relish, Cronenberg uses a gut-busting horror film to turn the oft-repeated claim that violence in the media catalyzes violence in society on its ear.
notcoming.com | Videodrome
David Cronenberg's Videodrome is only superficially about television and its luring power. In a hallucinogenic vision caused by a television program, Max Renn (a cable channel producer) sees his girlfriend's image on a television screen; she pleads for him to come to her. The set bulges and moans, and Max pushes his head into the screen. The action is obviously sexual.
allmovie
Hardcore pornography, sadomasochism, mind control, and living televisions all play crucial roles in Videodrome, one of director David Cronenberg's explorations of dangerous sexuality and technological obsession.
Videodrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The film's story begins by showing the daily grind of Max Renn (James Woods), the president of CIVIC-TV (Channel 83, Cable 12), a sleazy local UHF TV station, on his never-ending search for new material to titillate his viewers.
Videodrome | Cyberpunk Review
Videodrome, another interesting flick from mind-fuck horror master, David Cronenberg, provides us an interesting commentary on the effects of total immersion into a mass-media culture. Filmed for a paltry 6 million, this movie generated significant buzz upon release as one of the weirder movies ever made. Unfortunately, its FX don't age well, and maybe I've seen just a few too many weird movies to consider Videodrome all that strange now. But if you're in the mood for a strange cyberpunk horror, this is one to consider.
