Videodrome

First it controls your mind. Then it destroys your body.

A hallucinatory descent into media-induced madness where the boundary between broadcast reality and psychological dissolution collapses into surreal body horror and paranoid delusion.

As the president of a trashy TV channel, Max Renn is desperate for new programming to attract viewers. When he happens upon "Videodrome," a TV show dedicated to gratuitous torture and punishment, Max sees a potential hit and broadcasts the show on his channel. However, after his girlfriend auditions for the show and never returns, Max investigates the truth behind Videodrome and discovers that the graphic violence may not be as fake as he thought.
