Videodrome

For his next film, Videodrome (1983), Cronenberg imagined a television channel that transmits content so sexually and violently graphic that it causes hallucinations and even physical mutations in those subjected to it.

…such films as David Cronenberg’s Videodrome (1983) and John Waters’s 1988 comedy Hairspray (later turned into a successful musical), in which she played the antagonist Velma Von Tussle. She declined a role in the 1982 sci-fi movie Blade Runner, to her eternal regret; Daryl Hannah got the part.
