I thought Videodrome was pretty interesting but a bit confusing because through the middle of the movie to the end you really can't tell if he's hallucinating or not. I admire the point the movie is making... like junk T.V is sucking you in and making you think/do things you normally wouldn't do. T.V does have a huge influence in our lives whether we liked to admit it or not.
