Videodrome Reviews
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Though Videodrome finally grows grotesque and a little confused, it begins very well and sustains its cleverness for a long while.
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
Here, Cronenberg is a provocateur only to a point - boldly striding past boundaries of comfort but getting the heebie-jeebies upon approaching true profundity. But he wasn't too far from figuring out which incisions could cut the deepest.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
...an intriguing, deeply interesting film that over the course of almost three decades has acquired a prescient quality, but it's also schlock; a kind of cyberpunk rewrite of Network that indulges Cronenberg's taste for venereal horror.
ESplatter
Lucius Gore
[I]t stands out as one of Cronenberg's very best.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
There's little denying that Cronenberg was way ahead of his time with much of Videodrome.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
Simultaneously stupefying and boring, Videodrome is too extreme a blunder to survive exposure to a justifiably disillusioned horror-movie public.
Variety
Variety Staff
Film is dotted with video jargon and ideology which proves more fascinating than distancing. And Cronenberg amplifies the freaky situation with a series of stunning visual effects.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Never coherent and frequently pretentious, the film remains an audacious attempt to place obsessive personal images before a popular audience -- a kind of Kenneth Anger version of Star Wars.
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
... Videodrome is as contemporary and relevant as ever.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Veers from being risible to sinister as it explores how viewers are brainwashed by TV.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The director captures the worst-case scenario of what might happen at the dawn of the video era, going all the way back to our parents' warning us not to sit too close to the television.
Seattle Weekly
Tim Appelo
Underbaked, but you can't argue with its otherworldly aura. One disappointment: we don't get to see the belly-slit sex organs Baker designed for the never-used orgy finale.
culturevulture.net
Phil Freeman
By the time it reaches its...inevitable-feeling conclusion, 'Videodrome' has become more than a mere horror film--it's an indictment of everyone represented by its characters.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Mark Robison
Cronenberg was ahead of his time with this gross-out horror flick.
TV Guide
David Cronenberg's most visionary and audacious film up to the time of its making, Videodrome is a fascinating rumination on humanity, technology, entertainment, sex, and politics that is virtually incomprehensible on first viewing.
