This is a surreal glimpse Into the mind of David Cronenberg and one of his decent movies mixed with horror and with weird visions of what's not real and what is reality. James Woods plays sleazy TV president Max, who seems to want the ultimate X-rated show to broadcast. Debbie Harry plays radio psychologist Nicki Brand who likes a bit of the S&M and inflicts pain on herself. The film does have its intense moments but still entertaining. Long live the new life. 8 out of 10
We need a new David cronenberg style director, someone who makes films that are different but knows how to make a film, and not Hollywood style, or daft or gore for gore sake. My all time fav director love his films.
His films are different and ideas are fresh etc,
Brood, scanners, videodrome, eXistenZ, fly and load of fantastic films.
How can anyone horror fan not like a Cronenberg film when you look at his film career.
