Summary
A cassette circulating in Toronto’s underground scene begins to blur the boundaries of reality. Directed by David Cronenberg, this horror-science fiction nightmare shows how signals emanating from screens can take over the mind. As the cycle of violence that appears on the screen slowly consumes the viewer’s body and perception, the viewer is drawn deeper into this dark addiction.
