As he struggles to unearth the origins of the program, he embarks on a hallucinatory journey into a shadow world of right-wing conspiracies, sadomasochistic sex games, and bodily transformation. Starring James Woods and Deborah Harry in one of her first film roles, Videodrome is one of writer\/director David Cronenberg’s most original and provocative works, fusing social commentary with shocking elements of sex and violence. With groundbreaking special effects makeup by Academy Award®-winner Rick Baker, Videodrome has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and mind-bending science fiction films of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew high-definition digital transfer of the unrated version, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo audio commentaries: David Cronenberg and director of photography Mark Irwin, and actors James Woods and Deborah Harry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera (2000), a short film starring Videodrome’s Les Carlson, written and directed by Cronenberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForging the New Flesh, a new half-hour documentary featurette by filmmaker Michael Lennick about the creation of Videodrome’s video and prosthetic makeup effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects Men, a new audio interview with special makeup effects creator Baker and video effects supervisor Lennick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBootleg Video: the complete footage of Samurai Dreams and seven minutes of transmissions from “Videodrome,” presented in their original, unedited form with filmmaker commentary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFear on Film, a 26-minute roundtable discussion from 1982 between filmmakers Cronenberg, John Carpenter, John Landis, and Mick Garris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal theatrical trailers and promotional featurette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStills galleries featuring hundreds of rare behind-the-scenes production photos, special effects makeup tests, and publicity photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePLUS: An essay by Carrie Rickey and, in the DVD edition, additional essays by Tim Lucas and Gary Indiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVIDEODROME - DVD - CRITERION COLLECTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarring: James Woods, Sonja Smits, Debbie Harry, Peter Dvorsky, Leslie Carlson, Jack Creley, Lynne Gorman, Julie Khaner, Reiner Schwarz, David Bolt, Deborah Harry\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRating: R\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49072713007378,"sku":"715515276313","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4113405-2853925.jpg?v=1715276408","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/videodrome-criterion-collection-dvd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
