Cult horror classic in which snuff films lead to the distortion of body and mind.
When cable TV executive Max Renn (James Woods) stumbles across a secret pirate station broadcasting snuff films, he becomes obsessed with this violent world of sex and torture. Controlled by a brain tumour and unable to distinguish fiction from reality, both his body and his behaviour start transforming horribly.
Long live the new flesh! With Videodrome, David Cronenberg created a sci-fi body horror film for a new era: the dawn of VHS in the 1980s. Packed with unforgettable imagery as well as eerily prescient moments foreshadowing the rise of the internet, this classic nightmare just had to be part of our Ghost in the Feed programme. Videodrome gets under your skin instantly, merging dreams and reality and man and machine with the support of Howard Shore’s pitch-black synth score. And don't forget Deborah ‘Blondie’ Harry’s brilliant supporting part!
