Videodrome (1983)
5/10
Long live the new flesh
12 May 2024
After a while of knowing the existence of Videodrome i finally sat down and watched it. What makes this movie so creepy, is the fact that it predicted the internet. It predicted that real shock videos will become available to everyone. That makes this movie so creepy.

The acting is pretty good, no fault there. Music is okay. I am guessing that the message of the movie is the humanity being desensitizes to shock content. This movie was incredibly hard to follow, it did not make a lot of sense to me.

Imagine if you take Jacob's Ladder, and DeadAlive, you'd get this movie. I kind of enjoyed it, it wasn't a boring movie, but the plot just does not make a lot of sense to me. I found myself getting confused on many points in this movie... It's a mind-screw movie, with a interesting plot.

I kinda wish that they ditched the mind-screw and just focused on making a more coherent plot.
