The Breakdown

  • Practical head-burst effects still hold up
  • Body horror thesis executed with zero CGI
  • Original IP, single auteur vision
  • 80s pacing drags in the middle act

Side Effects

telepathic migraines, exploding skulls, vintage synth dread

Watch Instead

Loved this? Mainline 'Videodrome' next — same Cronenberg body horror, deeper descent.
