CRASH gave me a boner
SCANNERS,VIDEODROME and THE FLY were some flicks that I grew up on and I gotta tell ya, If there was one director who could shock an audience with a gory sequence. It was him. The Special effects seen in those movies were just flat out gruesome. The thing that made them so effective was that horror audiences (Or audiences in general) had never seen anything like this. Up around that time, Slashers were the only place to find some gore. Horny teens getting their Up & Comings by a masked maniac was the norm.
But Cronenberg took it to another level by bringing a psychological style that could haunt the viewer big time. And for that, he deserves a gang of props!
Haven’t seen his latest work yet. But I’m on the lookout for 'em.
