Why this pick
Cronenberg again fuses flesh, machinery and media into a sleek, increasingly unstable reality game, sustaining Videodrome’s queasy eroticism and paranoia.

02
Possessor
Why this pick
A cold, body-horror corporate nightmare about identity being invaded through technology; its clinical imagery and fractured subjectivity strongly echo Videodrome’s transmission-induced delirium.
03
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
Why this pick
Its abrasive industrial soundscape, manic black-and-white visual attack and violent human-machine transformation make it an ideal match for Videodrome’s feverish bodily corruption.
04
The Image Book
Why this pick
For Videodrome’s fascination with images as physical, political forces: this dense audiovisual collage turns damaged footage, sound and montage into an intentionally disorienting assault.
05
Demonlover
Why this pick
A slippery corporate-tech thriller steeped in online exploitation, surveillance and mediated desire, with the same sense that screens conceal a corrupting hidden system.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
When Max Renn, a president of a trashy TV channel, happens upon "Videodrome," a TV show dedicated to gratuitous torture and punishment, he sees a potential hit and broadcasts the show on his channel. However, after his girlfriend auditions for the show and never returns, Max investigates the truth behind Videodrome and discovers that the graphic violence may not be as fake as he thought.
