The makeup and prosthetics are quite believable, and hence disturbing, but you have to expect that from Cronenburg. Allegra survives an assassination attempt and goes on the run with Ted. Ted is the new-boy marketing graduate who ends up being her bodyguard much against his will. These themes are reminiscent of Philip K Dick's novels but perhaps with more gore and dismembered body parts. After discussing this film with other people it definitely helps to have some idea of multi-user games.
Games have a whole extra dimension when played with friends.
This film, together with Cronenburg's earlier film The Naked Lunch, explores the definitions of morality and depravity, but it was the film Crash which drew public criticism. I think I'll go home now, and kill a few baddies on the Playstation. DVD Review June 2000. Its a good film, which survives a second showing, but I noticed alot more this time around the stilted dialogue set up for american audiences. There was far too much explanation of what is going on.
