Videodrome

Videodrome
Videopiraat Max Renn runt een eigen kanaal en zoekt nieuw materiaal voor zijn show. Hij ontdekt een snuffmovie-kanaal genaamd Videodrome. Zijn vriendin doet auditie en wanneer hij haar ziet op tv krijgt hij hallucinaties.
I don’t know what that was. Kinda portentous and obnoxious. Feels like even the writers didn’t know what Videodrome is. What’s real and what’s a hallucination? It keeps throwing curveballs just to confuse you. Like it’s more interested in being mysterious than making sense. I wanted to like it, but by the credits I was just irritated. I get that it’s about media control and how screens reshape reality, but it’s buried under so much bizarre body horror and pseudo-philosophy that it just collapses on itself. Feels like a concept that never finds its footing. Maybe I’ll revisit it someday.
