Summary

Max Renn, the sleazy programmer of a small Toronto cable channel, goes hunting for edgier content and stumbles onto Videodrome, a pirate broadcast of seemingly real torture. As he investigates its origins, the signal begins warping his perception and body, pulling him into a conspiracy where television, flesh, and reality violently bleed into one another.

Videodrome is a 1983 drama, horror and science-fiction film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2,562 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 322 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 327 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. 3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
