This is Croneberg's best film (and that's really saying something). Filled with intriguing ideas, slick direction, fine acting, and special effects that are just cool. This (along with Brazil, Robocop, and Full Metal Jacket) is one of the best movies of the 80's. The plot isn't confusing, but it will go over some people's heads. Some people will mistake this as being stupid. Like all of Cronenberg's movies, it's original to the point of being bizarre. There's a whole lot of stuff here that some people might not want to see. Like hallucinogens, Videodrome is for those who can handle it.
