Disturbing Take on Media

Like many Cronenberg films, Videodrome starts fairly linearly and then deviates into hypnotic and surrealistic territory. I can't say that it's a film you enjoy watching, but the visuals are raw, often gory, and intentional and the film raises many intriguing issues and themes related to consumption of media and, specifically, of violence in media. Worth a watch.
