Description

Videodrome (1983), directed by David Cronenberg, custom trim pass to SDR from the Criterion Collection UHD HDR release, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical dual mono, three commentary tracks, and subtitles in English, French, and German.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086541/

Video encoded in two-pass 16.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.

Note : Another custom trim pass from a HDR-only 4k remaster, this is one of my all-time favorite films, Cronenberg's hallucinatory technology body horror nightmare masterpiece, with James Woods displaying his usual intensity and Debbie Harry heavily into BDSM, a cult classic by any definition. There are also some great practical effects (by Rick Baker), and a mindfuck of a story that'll stick with you long after it's over. Also features Sonja Smits, Peter Dvorsky, Leslie Carlson, Jack Creley, and Lynne Gorman.

Max Renn is the president of a local TV station in Toronto that specializes in sensationalist and exploitative programming. Much of the content comes from Harlan, his assistant, who has a satellite dish and equipment to pick up all sorts of weird programming from around the world, without a license. Harlan shows Max a show called "Videodrome", which has no plot, but only features real torture and murder. Max is fascinated, and orders Harlan to start taping the show. Max starts a sexual relationship with Nick Brand, a radio host who's excited by an episode of Videodrome, and soon begins going further into experimenting with sadomasochism. Upon learning that Videodrome is broadcast from Pittsburgh, she insists on going there to audition for the show, and Max never hears from her again. A pornographer acquaintance of Max tells him Videodrome is real, and actually the public face of an underground political organization with nebulous goals, and sends him to see the enigmatic media theorist Brian O'Blivion, who can tell him more. O'Blivion's daughter receives him in a shelter which provides television viewing to homeless people, and Max gets a videotape of O'Blivion, who explains that Videodrome is part of a secret culture war between various political factions for the minds of the North American population. As Max starts to experience increasingly bizarre hallucinations, he finds he might have been drafted into the war, and his mind might not be entirely his own anymore, but there are still ways to resist.

This film has always been a bit murky, and this Criterior remaster is no exception, but it's otherwise quite nice, with good contrast, lifelike color, and fairly subtle grain. The original mono sounds fine too, and as usual the commentary tracks are well worth checking out, with Cronenberg being his usual academic-sounding self, and in particular there are some interesting differences in how he and Woods recall the latter's erratic and paranoid behavior on set. Considering how Woods has gone totally off the rails lately, I'd tend to believe Cronenberg on this one.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk body horror” for more from the subgenre that makes the body an ideological battlefield, “hevk techno horror” for more anxieties about technology, or “hevk 80s” for more from the decade when cathode ray tubes everywhere seemed to be the inevitable future.
