Namely, soft-core porn and violence or combinations of the two. Renn is constantly on the hunt for something that pushes the envelope and will gain notoriety for the channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When satellite pirate Harlan (Peter Dvorsky) tells Renn about&nbsp;<em>Videodrome<\/em>, a program from Malaysia&nbsp;that features what looks like real torture, Renn is immediately intrigued at the possibilities of airing it. Wanting to buy the rights, he begins to search for the program&#8217;s source. What he stumbles upon is something more dangerous and subversive than anything he&#8217;s aired on CIVIC TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Released in 1983, <strong><em>Videodrome&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>asked audiences to consider what would happen if video content could actually alter the viewer. Not just changing their perception of reality, but actually creating a physical mutation of the&nbsp;brain (and, possibly, the body.) The idea of someone satisfying society&#8217;s endless appetite for media with dangerous (and possibly deadly) content is a brilliant horror concept. And, one that&#8217;s even more relevant today than in 1983. Writer\/director David Cronenberg challenges the audience to ask if whether we&#8217;d watch something like&nbsp;<em>Videodrome&nbsp;<\/em>or not.&nbsp;Now that the Internet brings the worst of humanity into our homes (and our smartphones) every day, we know the answer is unequivocally, &#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie would not succeed if not for the brilliant performance of James Woods. Max Renn transforms from an opportunistic sleazeball to a sympathetic character as his world literally mutates in front of him. When paired with Rick Baker&#8217;s excellent practical make-up effects, Woods pulls off the change convincingly. Deborah Harry, from the rock group Blondie, is effectively seductive as Nikki, who leads Renn down the rabbit hole of <em>Videodrome<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sexual nature of some of the imagery might turn off some viewers. I think that Cronenberg&#8217;s choice to do so is warranted because it accurately depicts the primal allure of something dangerous. How better to visualize repeatedly coming back to something that can hurt you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cronenberg&#8217;s vision of what happens as a result of the&nbsp;<em>Videodrome&nbsp;<\/em>broadcast is grotesque and disturbing. One could consider the film a warning about consuming&nbsp;too much negative media. Of course, it&#8217;s also possible to simply view it as brilliantly conceived and thought-provoking combination of science fiction and horror. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;d call it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"fsrs\"><span class=\"fsrs-stars\"><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"hide fsrs-text fsrs-text__hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">4.0 out of 5.0 stars<\/span><span class=\"lining fsrs-text fsrs-text__visible\" aria-hidden=\"true\">4.0<\/span><\/span><br><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2NDK6YV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy on Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The movie would not succeed if not for the brilliant performance of James Woods.
