Saw it on home video in the early 90’s , as one review stated ‘ once you’ve seen it , you never stop thinking of it .’
A thread this morning here was about the media creation of the Pisswig … and I think the comparison between the two is apt . I’ve brought this up before .
As McLuhan said : the medium is the message ‘ or is that ‘ the medium is the massage ‘ .. the character of O’Blivion in Videodrome is based on McLuhan .

It’s a campy movie , but yeh can disturb your dreams I suppose .
