David Cronenberg is a Canadian film director, screenwriter and producer known for pioneering body-horror films and for exploring themes that fuse the psychological with the corporeal and technological.

Reviews emphasize Cronenberg's role in the Body Horror genre and recurring themes such as metamorphosis, the fusion of flesh and technology, psychic/transformation motifs, and critiques of mass control via media or pharmaceutical power.

The reviews praise David Cronenberg as a leading figure of Body Horror. Scanners is presented as a formative, foundational work in his oeuvre. Videodrome is read as a dystopian critique of television and mass control. Both reviews highlight recurring themes: metamorphosis, the fusion of mind/body and technology.

For:Fans of cult cinema, body horror, science fiction and films about technology and media control.

 

"Scanners" is and will always remain the matrix of the works that Cronenberg will create in the future and in my opinion, remains the Best that the director has ever made, at least until now.

VideoDrome is a film from 1983, although limited overall by the technology available in the early '80s, the concept that makes this film brilliant manages to go beyond these limitations, as it is absolutely futuristic for its plot and in some ways plausible both today and in a hypothetical future, perhaps not too far away.
