Crash (1996)

  • Criterion Collection, Cronenberg, David
  • 1996, Canada, David Cronenberg
  • Leave a comment

A couple discovers an underground subculture of car crash sexual fetishists in Cronenberg’s most transgressive work, an audacious masterclass of psychosexual filmmaking that portends the post-millennial existential despair and aberrant nihilism.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Eastern Promises (2007)

  • Cronenberg, David
  • 2007, Canada, David Cronenberg, UK
  • Leave a comment

One of Cronenberg’s best films, this Russian-mobsters-in-London crime drama boasts well-developed characters and startling violence, as a nurse inevitably gets too close to exposing the sinister activities of a shady restaurateur. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Scanners (1981)

  • Criterion Collection, Cronenberg, David
  • 1981, Canada, David Cronenberg
  • 2 Comments

A man with telepathic ability is recruited to infiltrate a clandestine group led by a nefarious ringleader with a similar ability in Cronenberg’s breakthrough sci-fi thriller that reveals his marked distaste for corporations and authorities that exploit humans and their bodies.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Shrouds, The (2024)

  • Criterion Collection, Cronenberg, David
  • 2024, Canada, David Cronenberg
  • Leave a comment

Cronenberg’s critically derided work is a misunderstood if inscrutable piece about the nihilistic reassurance of death and mortality in a world careening towards rigor mortis.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Maps to the Stars (2014)

  • Cronenberg, David
  • 2014, Canada, David Cronenberg, USA
  • 1 Comment

Cronenberg mixes the weird with the normal in this anti-Hollywood satire that is biting but doesn’t quite touch the clouds. 

⭐⭐⭐

Dangerous Method, A (2011)

  • Cronenberg, David
  • 2011, David Cronenberg, Germany, UK
  • 1 Comment

While at times vacuous, this Cronenberg picture is still intellectually stimulating, and most certainly one for the arthouse crowd.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Fly, The (1986)

  • Cronenberg, David
  • 1986, Canada, David Cronenberg, USA
  • 3 Comments

One of Cronenberg’s very best films, this is a peak culmination of his body horror exploits with a rare emotional and human core to its storytelling.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Videodrome (1983)

  • Criterion Collection, Cronenberg, David
  • 1983, Canada, David Cronenberg
  • 3 Comments

A sci-fi body horror movie that stands out in Cronenberg’s ‘80s oeuvre for its special effects and just-as-relevant-today commentary on our obsession with the screen.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Crimes of the Future (2022)

  • Cronenberg, David
  • 2022, Canada, David Cronenberg, Greece
  • Leave a comment

Cronenberg’s new sci-fi body horror is packed with fascinating ideas, but the film somewhat falls short in its half-baked attempt to realise them.

⭐⭐⭐
