David Cronenbergs Videodrome (1983) stars James Woods as a sleazy TV executive who stumbles upon a mysterious broadcast signal that induces hallucinations, violence, and bodily mutation. Blending body horror with media satire, the film explores technology, control, and desire, cementing its status as one of the most disturbing and influential cult classics of the 1980s. Arrow Films LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH! Combining the bio-horror elements of his earlier films whilst anticipating the technological themes of his later work, Videodrome exemplifies Cronenbergs extraordinary talent for making both visceral and cerebral cinema. Max Renn (James Woods) is looking for fresh new content for his TV channel when he happens across some illegal S&M-style broadcasts called Videodrome. Embroiling his girlfriend Nicki (Debbie Harry) in his search for the source, his journey begins to blur the lines between reality and fantasy as he works his way through sadomasochistic games, shady organisations and body transformations stunningly realised by the Oscar-winning makeup effects artist Rick Baker.
