Netflix Watch Instantly Pick of the Week - 1/30/12
Videodrome
In 1983, this insane masterpiece of horror cinema was unleashed upon the world. Speaking volumes about sex and violence in entertainment and art and how it is taken in and changes the viewer, Videodrome is the story of a sleazy cable-tv programmer (James Woods) looking for the next big sensationalistic thing to put his little station on the map. So when he is handed a piece of apparent snuff film, he sets out to find out more about the creators. The effects of this film and his search go places where you would never expect. It's a tense, gory, philosophical and well-made movie, from the mind of David Cronenberg (The Fly, Dead Ringers, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises).
