Videodrome (1983)
![Strangest Movies We've Ever Seen](jpg/videodrome_eggg5g.jpg)
No list of the strangest movies we’ve ever seen would be complete without at least one film by David Cronenberg, the king of body horror whose obsessions are perfectly encapsulated in Videodrome.
We have no idea how to explain what happens in this film, released during the rise of home video, expect to say that it fascinatingly anticipates reality TV, the internet, and VR and AR advancements that meld humanity with technology, never more directly than when James Woods’ character, Max Renn, inserts a Betamax tape into his torso.
We also love Blondie singer Debbie Harry (above) as the mysterious Nikki Brand.
