David Cronenberg

Adam refers to a sci-fi thriller with body horror as the first 12 years of Cronenberg's career. In a discussion of The Dead Zone, one speaker calls it clinical, like reading the doctor's notes, and says it feels like a totally different film from Videodrome, which feels 100% like Cronenberg. Adam praises the work of Cronenberg's son Brandon as a fairly unique take that feels like what his dad would make at that age.

In their own words

• Adam And admittedly, that's very early in the film, but I cannot I cannot stress enough. It's got fucking David Cronenberg in it, which immediately just elevates. Just, you know, from the man who really is the best thing about Night Breed.

• Adam Overall. Um, because that that was the other thing. As well is I don't know if anyone's seen it, obviously, um, David Cronenberg has a bit of a uh a double life as an actor and he is he plays Dekin Nightbreed. Which is fucking brilliant. He really. You know. He really but again, he tends to play characters who feel. a bit David Cronenberg is the best way I can put it, you know, they're always always like. Yeah, intellectual but to the point that it's like, yeah, you don't have any morals left, do you? It.

You know, I I do love Cronenberg, so there's no I I definitely think that's a compliment. And it's good to see someone else out there doing because it's a fairly unique take. So.

• Unknown You know, it's because it's David Cronenberg, but it just is it's like reading the doctor's notes on what happened. It just feels like so fucking real, you know? It's like you're reading Herbert Lom's journal, you know, when you just fucking hell, this is dispassionate but fucking massive, tragic and horrible thing.

• Unknown The thing about 'Dead Zone' is like. It may it was it was made the same year as 'Videodrome' and 'Videodrome' feels 100% like this is David Cronenberg. Where 'The Dead Zone' feels like a totally different movie, totally different vibe of movie, right? Which is him taking on King, but it's it's fucking beautiful.
