Doesn’t do it for me in that great Cronenbergian / ‘new flesh’ way, but loved it nonetheless. This and ‘Eastern Promises’ are kind of defining a new type of Cronenberg aesthetic – and I like. In some ways I see comparisons with Haneke’s ‘Funny Games’ as both films are making comments on film violence and drawing the viewer in to make them complicit with the violence – you want to see the bad guys get their just deserts – only Funny Games really flips it on you, whereas as HofV gives you what you want.
