A brilliant but decidedly twisted filmmaker, David
Cronenberg's penchant for the perverse has sent moviegoers
running out of theaters in disgust and critics running to their
word processors in awe. Starting off with cheapie horror films,
Cronenberg
made his name as the man who brought us an exploding head in the
mind-reading thriller Scanners. That was just the beginning. He
blurred the line between TV and reality with Videodrome, covered
Jeff Goldblum with icky slime in The Fly, played on reproductive
fears with Dead Ringers, and brought the drug-induced visions
of William S. Burroughs to life with Naked Lunch. Although he's
made more mainstream films such as M. Butterfly and The Dead Zone,
the Canadian filmmaker continues to shock; 1997's NC-17 rated
Crash detailed the sexual fetishes of those turned on by car crashes.
