Christopher Walken stars in David Cronenberg's suitably spooky and sad film adaptation of a Stephen King novel about a man with the ability to read the thoughts of others. This gift, of course, proves to be more a curse than a blessing. With Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom and Martin Sheen as a very dangerous political candidate.

A tattooed and taut Viggo Mortensen snakes his way out of a Ukrainian prison and into the not-so-good graces of the Russian mob in London. Simultaneously, the diary of an abused mafia prostitute lands in the hands of an intrepid nurse played by Naomi Watts, whose search to find the girl's family leads her straight into the gangsters' den. Though body-genre director David Cronenberg isn't exploding any heads (Scanners) or barfing off any limbs (The Fly), he's still keen on showing you what the inside of the human body looks like. And expert cinematographer Peter Suschitzky keeps his camera fixed on these graphic images for a few moments too many, so if your stomach is weak, don't make any Eastern Promises. This strange, sinister film also features a bathhouse sequence in which a full-frontal Viggo battles two hatchet men. Such homoerotic brutality, you will never forget. With Vincent Cassel, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Sinead Cusack and Polish director Jerzy David Cronenberg---Great Britain/Canada---2007---100 mins.

Life is a game and the game is life in David Cronenberg's witty sci-fi thriller about a virtual reality game designer (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who has invented a system that interacts directly with the body and mind, making the dark fantasies that follow every bit as real as whatever reality may (or may not) be. Her game is considered both dangerous and valuable, and she becomes a target for assassins. On the run with an unlikely ally (Jude Law), her escape is possible only if she was ever truly trapped in the first place. As funny as it is strange, this inventive feature may be Cronenberg's first true comedy. With Ian Holm and Willem Dafoe. David Cronenberg---Canada---1999---97 mins.

David Cronenberg's earliest departure from horror and sci-fi material remains the one film on his resume that is seemingly out of character with the rest of his work. Made in between Rabid and The Brood, this is a well-mad e drag racing melodrama following a champion driver as he deals with the pressure of competition, corrupt sponsors and relationships. While it is often excluded from discussions of his work, this interesting low-budget production taps into Cronenberg's passion for cars...a passion that would take a decidedly more extreme turn years later in Crash. With William Smith, Claudia Jennings and John Saxon. David Cronenberg---Canada---1978---90 mins.

David Cronenberg succeeds in filming what many considered unfilmable. He creates a bizarre, drug inspired world based on the once-banned 1959 underground novel by William Burroughs. Peter Weller couldn't be better as a Burroughs-like novelist/junkie who is sent to Interzone on a secret mission by a talking typewriter that transmutes to a roach. With Judy Davis, Julian Sands, Ian Holm and Roy Scheider as Dr. Benway. "A thrilling, astounding, devastating piece of work" (Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune). David Cronenberg---USA---1991---117 mins.

Scientific "advances" have led to the birth of Scanners, people with incredible psychic powers that give them the ability to control minds and alter objects. Corporate and underground powers compete for the loyalty of the Scanners and the use of their power. With Stephen Lack, Michael Ironside and David Cronenberg---Canada---1981---104 mins.

This release features two otherworldly works from early in David Cronenberg's career. Stereo (1969) is about a group of volunteers who submit to a form of brain surgery that removes their ability to speak but increases their telepathic powers, not to mention psychosexual activity. "Fashioning stark geometric compositions from the brutalist architecture of the location, Cronenberg's mood-making is already impeccable" (The Village Voice). Signaling the director's command of gross-out imagery, Crimes of the Future (1970) involves doctors who engage in bizarre and twisted David Cronenberg---Canada---1969-1970---130 mins.
