Yeah. OK. Back 36 years ago - Cronenberg's "Videodrome" may have, indeed, shocked its audience right out of its socks with its flagrant and sexually twisted audacity. But, on the other hand - Seeing it today is certainly quite a different (and, yes, disappointing) matter all together - 'Cause I seriously think that crafty, old Cronenberg was banking way too heavily on the viewer not taking the time to intelligently think this film's decidedly dark and demented story through to its utterly wacky conclusion. Anyway - If you can, perhaps, try to view "Videodrome" as being something of a perverted comedy (rather than a straight-faced horror film), then, maybe (just maybe) it will offer you the sort of cinematic distraction that you so desperately crave.
