"You've gone as far as you can with the way things are." you are a voyeur and a killer and a pervert and you are the future.
matt lynchSep 3, 2012This is perhaps Cronenberg's most inaccessible film. It refuses to be defined and to be holed up in a genre. It is a mesmerising, frightening and hallucinatory trip into the abyss of man's mind. Strangely enough, this film, which I consider to be one of his best,…

this film has the same energy as my mum telling me to reduce my screen time
˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗Nov 23, 2020thinking about how crazy videodrome was and how relevant it is more than ever. Cronenberg made a movie nearly 40 years ago about our dependency & relationship to mass media, how it manipulates people's consciousness.

- Obihulk lovedVideodrome
When diving into a Cronenberg film, there is no doubt that it will definitely be an unsettling dive into the horrific nature that comes from surreal and unnatural. Now even though I am rather new to the Cronenberg’s viewing experience with having only seen “The Fly”, nothing would have prepared me…
Sabrina Bondi likedVideodromeCronenberg uses the fears of television to manipulate an audience as a starting off point for a conspiracy thriller curled around his favorite topics: the response of the body human to technology, and disease and mutation as evolution.
Mike T. is "meh" onVideodromeReally don’t get why people think this is so special. This isn’t me trying to be negative, I genuinely don’t understand. If you make a prediction vague enough, anything is considered “ahead of its time”. People have been bitching that media violence was a problem since silent…
- Jennifer Facenda lovedVideodrome
Didn’t really know what to expect watching this, but I absolutely love it. Definitely one of my current favorite films. Criticism on the consumption of violence is even more relevant today than it was in the 80’s
Superbad lovedVideodromeThis movie was way ahead of its time, they just didn’t expect us to have devices in out pockets broadcasting Videodrome to us 24/7…
Vogue Italia lovedVideodromeit is scary how similar to the internet television really is 😭
- Adam greco is "meh" onVideodrome
Simply put ….. meh
Max Tarrant watched_neutraldVideodromeI’m a big fan of croenenberg and this film was really enjoyable. It gave me very slightly the live vibes. The movie is a little slow but the story is great, characters are also good James woods is great. The body horror is awesome and this film makes you scared of watching tv 😂
nevan lovedVideodromei’m guaranteed to love original and innovative forms of analog horror, and as one of cronenberg’s best films, videodrome continues to entertain with incredible effects and performances. a truly unique narrative that subverts expectations and stuns; amazing

Metacritic
The characters are bitter and hateful, the images are nauseating, and the ending is bleak enough that when the screen fades to black it's a relief.. Videodrome, whatever its qualities, has got to be one of the least entertaining films of all time.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Never coherent and frequently pretentious, the film remains an audacious attempt to place obsessive personal images before a popular audience--a kind of Kenneth Anger version of Star Wars. (Review of Original Release)

Chicago Reader
Though Videodrome finally grows grotesque and a little confused, it begins very well and sustains its cleverness for a long while.
