I love this film. I bought it on dvd for my bro but I think it might be a bit too dark for him. I heard Cronenberg is working on a new film with the screenwriter for Schindler's List, Searching For Bobby Fischer - American Gangster - hope that turns out alright.

Taking a gander at his filmography, Cronenberg has made a career out of making very cold-looking films. I'm not sure if it's the cinematography or if it's something else entirely like his storytelling style.

Far as DPs go, he had Mark Irwin for The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, Dead Zone, and The Fly which are the main five "chilly" films I'm talking about. He then had Peter Suschitzky for all the rest, which weren't exactly warm looking either. Cronenberg doesn't have a big photography background like Kubrick so...I dunno. He must have a very clear vision from the git-go.
