VIDEODROME First it controls your mind... then it destroys your body... long live the new flesh! Cronenberg's 1983 sci-fi cult classic starts when Max Renn intercepts the pirate broadcast of a hyperviolent torture show called videodrome. As he unearths the origins of the program, he embarks on a hallucinogenic journey through fractured psyches and cathode tubes into a shadow world of right wing conspiracies, sadomasochistic sex games and bodily transformations...
