10 Trippiest Horror Movies Of All Time

7. Videodrome

Beyond The Black Rainbow
Universal Pictures

More than 40 years after release, David Cronenberg's Videodrome remains as relevant as ever - a genuinely horrifying warning of the potential for technological to rot and warp both the body and mind.

In a time where tech pervades basically every facet of human existence and social media shapes the state of the world, Videodrome's heightened satire-cum-cautionary tale - centered around a TV signal transmitting brutal torture and murder - hits harder than ever before. 

With its ever-distorting perspective on "reality" and bevy of nauseating body horror imagery, Videodrome is a bad trip writ large - a manic allegory for the sense of self lost amid our pathological need to consume.

That Videodrome is itself a horror movie about our relationship with movies and media in general only makes it that much more sobering a sit. And even watched today, it still leaves one pondering what the dangerous future of technology and entertainment might be.
