Reviews
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Majorthebys Charming and brutal
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Sameir Ali A cable TV programmer, Max, accidentally watches a torture video. He felt it so realistic, and get obsessed with it. But, his life starts changing as he was exposed to the tape. Anyone who watches the tape are prone to have a brain cancer and illusions start working. But, what is real and what is an illusion?The movie is directly a message about the influence and power of television and other social media. This film is very relevant in today's society.As usual David Cronenberg, excels this movie with his stunning practical visual effects. Rick Baker did an amazing job with special make up.The movie with surrealism always fascinates me.A must watch. Highly recommended.#KiduMovie
utahman1971 Sorry, if those like him in other movies but this is far his best to me. I really like horror movies and this one is a torture porn kind of horror movie. I really enjoyed this one. Lots of sex, torture, and killing horror. Too bad there are not more movies like this or they continued with sequels.I would love to see more than two movies of this in a series. It is just awesome. The gore is incredible. I can not watch it enough, it is that good. I love women but the one he sleeps with is kind of fugly to me. Do not know how they chose her for the part, but I just think she is that bad.
thisseatofmars Videodrome is a movie I've been meaning to see forever. In finally watching it I will never look at my VCR the same way again, ancient, dust-collecting paperweight that it is.James Woods is an excellent choice of an actor to play Videodrome's sleazy antihero lead. Yes, the man has no scruples, but more importantly, the man also has no eyebrows. So you can never tell when he's angry or not.Debbie Harry from Blondie's in this. She's so sexy, and at one point she burns herself with a cigarette. I do that too sometimes, but never on purpose like what she gets up to in this here picture. I wonder if she'll fall asleep with one and accidentally burn down an apartment building like what I do, but on purpose.Anyway, now, for certain, nobody can say that I haven't watched Videodrome.
MartinHafer I do understand in some ways what the film was trying to say. I also know that it's been praised and many consider it an exceptional film. However, I tried watching it tonight and ended up turning it off about halfway through the movie. Why? Because the extremely violent images were very disturbing...especially because I am sure folks enjoyed watching this. You see folks being tortured, a woman getting off with some VERY realistic masochistic behaviors (involving needles, burning herself and more) and after a while it just was too much. And, at that point I just said to myself...'how much of this can I take and SHOULD I even keep watching?'. Seeing folks brutalized just isn't my cup of tea...especially when it's combined with pornographic images and sex. Perhaps I am too squeamish, but life is too short for me to fill my mind with such stuff and I do not plan on trying to watch this one again...once was enough...so you are forewarned.
