Twisted tale of Darwinian survival inside a dream, or the meaning of life according to Cronenberg. A little pretentious, but one of his best

One of the most bizarre film experiences I’ve ever had, trippy and surreal and worth multiple viewings. Full of Cronenbergian staples

I love that Cronenberg made video games fleshy and organic. This is fun, but not his best work.

The last Cronenberg body-horror. Devilishly twisted and gloriously gruesome.

A psychosexual body horror nightmare that leaves a slimy trail through the mind long after the credits roll.
