Title: Watch Videodrome instead
Product review: eXistenZ is a shallower reworking of Cronenberg's earlier work and succeeds only in bringing the ideas into line with the more modern technology. Videodrome is more intelligent and far more atmospheric while James Woods' role in the lead is far more involving. I became somewhat depressed watching this film because it looked very much like Cronenberg had run out of ideas. One other thing - I've always liked the ending to Cronenberg's films, but the line 'Are we still in the game?' is really laying it on with a trowel.
