OVERVIEW

When Max Renn goes looking for edgy new shows for his sleazy cable TV station, he stumbles across the pirate broadcast of a hyperviolent torture show called "Videodrome". As he unearths the origins of the program, he embarks on a hallucinatory journey into a shadow world of right-wing conspiracies, sadomasochistic sex games, and bodily transformation. Starring James Woods and Deborah Harry, in one of her first film roles, 'Videodrome' is one of writer/director David Cronenberg’s most original and provocative works, fusing social commentary with shocking elements of sex and violence. With ground
ing special effects makeup by Academy Award®-winner Rick Baker, 'Videodrome' has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and mind-bending science fiction films of the 1980s.
