Videodrome

Creative and idiosyncratic filmmaker David Cronenberg directs this delightfully bizarre film about a television programmer who stumbles onto a sado-masochistic video stream that might just be trying to subliminally effect television viewers everwhere. A wildly original, peculiar comment on the effect of mass media on our behavior, this cult-classic features a daring and critically acclaimed performance from Academy Award nominee James Woods as well as a brave performance from music star, Deborah Harry.
