Long Live The New Flesh

Sunday, June 1, 2008

David Cronenberg made some of the most insightful shock-horror films of the 1980s. Few mainstream critics understood that while Cronenberg's material was distributed as schlocky B-movies, the themes he was exploring were much deeper and more insightful. His stories are about psychological transformation through physical transformation, the evolution of the human body through technology, and the constant violence and sexuality that runs through the human consciousness. Mad Science indeed. Cronenberg is one gateway into subject matter for which The Director is organizing new investigations. Further details will follow.



An important note on Shivers: whereas most 'infection horror' movie plots involve government experiments gone wrong, or biological alien invasions, the sex-zombie parasites of Shivers were deliberately created by a deranged scientist, who leaves his explanation in a suicide note. Brilliance!

The Brain That Wouldn't Die!

The question is posed, "What is Mad Science, exactly?" The Director will be addressing that very matter soon. Until then, witness this classic schlock fable of desire, scientific rebellion, lust, and destruction, the 1962 classic "The Brain That Wouldn't Die". Yes, the whole movie is public domain!
