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.

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.

Japan discovered David Cronenberg


Cronenberg and Geiger.

But if this had to do with David Cronenberg the people themselves would start having dangling penises from their necks.

upvote for the Cronenberg reference...

It's weird, after Hellraiser, I felt that nightbreed was somewhat hokey...David Cronenberg was the only good part of the movie as far as I was concerned. The "monsters" were all kind of silly in a side-show sort of way.
on that note i agree,while i wouldnt call the monsters "hokey", everything paled after hellraiser.
i mean come on.."the BOX..you opened it..we came"
clive barker made the demons TALK.
i still get the hairs on my arms to stand up when that scene comes on.
i think clive barker made the "monsters" less horrific to show that it was mankind that was the real monster.
thats my take anyways.

Naw naw, good points. I don't think we are that far apart on the film...

Cronenberg? But where's the tooth gun, or bug typewriter, or spine port? Everything looks decidedly un-Gigerish.

Really.. people.. As you well know, Ed Harris is NOT the director of "A History Of Violence" it's David Cronenberg (who was sitting directly to Ed's right)

Yes, edited for effect.

boo.

This was a great movie, ranked up there with the best of the psy-noir (as I like to call it). Videodrome, The Fly, Scanners; I hope Cronenberg doesn't stop making these after his recent successes with Eastern Promises and A History of Violence. He's the one who pioneered the genre and seems to be the only one interested in making movies in it.


Psy-noir... I like that! Cronenberg is a very rare director indeed.
