So I just watched Videodrome for the first time...

..and Lost Highway is looking pretty lucid at the moment by comparison. Holy Christ, I feel like I was just put through an exorcism.

3. And its REAL!!!!

Creepiest movie I'd ever seen

[ChillEB]

5. That movie rules...

The story is an absolute TRIP. The execution near-perfect. Very convincingly creepy for something so utterly asinine on paper. + Debbie Harry topless ...

It's friggin badass...

8. It's a fantastic satire

"Hello, I'm Barry Convex, president of Spectacular Optical, an enthusiastic global corporate citizen. We make inexpensive eyeglasses for the Third World, and missile guidance systems for NATO."

I was first introduced to the film many years ago via the basic-cable version. With all the cuts for content, the film is even more jarring and disjointed (if that's possible) but there are a couple of scenes in it that should have stayed in the theatrical cut, like the scene that explains how Videodrome was created as a VR combat simulator, but abandoned becuase it caused hallucinations.

I always found it weird that James Woods could star in movies like this and Salvador and somehow turn into a Repuke in all but name...
