Videodrome
Aroview: Cable TV programmer James Woods enters a dark netherworld of psychosis and pornography as he searches for the ultimate thrill. He may have just found it in the media-generated form of newscaster Debbie Harry. A kinky, confronting work.

4 stars (Very Good) Almost as "Burroughs" as Cronenberg's later Naked Lunch, this disturbing commentary of reality television is nightmarish and gristly, with highly controversial subject matter and outstanding special effects for 1979. ~Tom H
4 stars (Very Good) Very cool practical fx decorate a bizarre "violent entertainment as boogie man" narrative. Some people may be bothered by the ambiguous narrative and hyper violent imagery, but I was more bothered by James Woods. ~Pop&Coffee
