Movie Review: Videodrome

Videodrome

Director: David Cronenberg
Year: 1983
Genre: Sci-Fi / Horror
Notable Cast: James Woods, Sonja Smits
Netflix Link: Videodrome
Quote to Note: I think you'll find a little S&M will be necessary.




Review: How do you name your movie Videodrome but not have a single boat in the film? Talk about the mother of misleading titles. Jesus Christ! If I knew there was only going to be murder, torture, cybernetics, and nudity I would've watched something else. Like maybe that movie with Cuba Gooding Jr. in a submarine. Fuck. There are pulsating VHS tapes, an abdominal vagina, and Professor O'Blivion, but not even a schooner. God Damn It. I just saw a woman extinguish a cigarette on her tit. Still, no boats.


And then, just when all hope was lost, we have a condemned vessel. 82 minutes into an 87 minute movie we have a ratty old tug boat. Shit! That makes up for the rest of it. I really thought I wasted my time.




Score:
(7.5 Swayze Heads out of 10)
