Where to begin? Well what about that trailer. Wowza.

I have watched a lot of David Cronenberg this year already. This one is iconic though. It's a very trippy film. I don't understand people wanting to remake this, how could it work today? No one uses vhs anymore, unless they made it about youtube clips or something stupid like that.

It's very much a product of it's time, despite many themes being relevant today. A lot of the make-up effects don't hold up that great but they get the job done. There are some interesting ides brought up in here, some of them are a little overt but once the mind bending starts you forget about a lot of that.

It's not without it's problems but there's some exciting and downright freaky things to witness in this cult classic. I'd say it's a must see.
