If Videodrome hit the spot, these will too

The same two preoccupations: insanity, and hallucination
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

David Cronenberg directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Missing the twists of Videodrome

The same hand behind both of them: David Cronenberg

Surrealism is the engine of both
The difference: 43 years apart, and the 2020s show

Both built around paranoia

The same mix in both: dread, then unease

Cerebral where it counts, twisty underneath

Dystopia sits at the heart of each

Both trade on dream logic more than on being horror
The difference: Leans fantasy where Videodrome does not

Both keep circling back to surreal

Mystery built on dread, twice over

Unsettling science fiction in both cases
In the mood for more dread?
