-------
Director David Cronenberg's most visionary and audacious film up to the time of its making, VIDEODROME is a fascinating rumination on humanity, technology, entertainment, sex, and politics... A programmer at a TV station that specializes in adult entertainment searches for the producers of a dangerous and bizarre broadcast.

In Cronenberg's most articulate and disturbing portrait of the narcotic power of technology to turn fantasy into reality, Videodrome is a snuff TV show of such sadomasochistic perversity as to unleash sexual, violent, and sexually violent impulses among those who watch it.

When Max Renn goes looking for edgy new shows for his sleazy cable TV station, he stumbles across the pirate broadcast of a hyperviolent torture show called Videodrome. Whilst trying to uncover its origins, he goes on a hallucinatory journey into a shadow world of conspiracy, sadomasochism and bodily transformation.
