COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Videodrome submitted by jibkidder on July 30, 2022, 10:07am The S&M Cronenberg masterpiece! Would make a great double feature with Assayas "Demonlover". I could watch this every evening, a real head trip. When I was a teen I used to rent from an Atlanta video rental store named after this movie.

First impressions, DISGUSTING. submitted by Tassos on March 2, 2023, 1:55pm Just started seeing this poor old POS. Looked at the plot and the first lines are already DISGUSTING.

fast forwarded or skipped many scenes

What a worthless POS.
