Our take

David Cronenberg’s intense, quintessential body-horror cult classic: a surreal postmodern vision that grapples with pirate TV, pornography, and mass media to dramatize the contemporary cultural fear of technology & transhumanism. A film at the same time irresistibly fascinating, dark and disturbing.
