Rotten Tomatoes
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. The morally questionable hero of the tale is one Max Renn
(James Woods), a television executive searching for an intense new
program for his sex-oriented network. He ultimately discovers an
underground program called "Videodrome," which appears to broadcast
pornographic snuff films of
actual murders.
Horrified but perversely intrigued, Renn sets out to find the truth
behind the program. During his search, he meets alluring femme fatale
Nicki (Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry), technology cult leader Bianca
O'Blivion, and other mysterious figures. Things become even more
disturbing for Renn as his addiction grows, and the program begins to
infect the outside world -- or perhaps merely destroy own his sanity.
Cronenberg mingles his cerebral concerns about the nature of reality in
the video age with enough visceral gore (courtesy of Rick Baker) to
satisfy the film's intended horror audience. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi
IMDb
A sleazy cable-TV programmer begins to see his life and the future of
media spin out of control in a very unusual fashion when he acquires a
new kind of programming for his station.
