Just caught this on the Space channel. I just love the whole "body horror" concept of Cronenberg's 70s output. However, I thought A History of Voilence was quite lame.

I am a fan of Cronenberg's 1970s stuff.  But I disagree with you on A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.  I really enjoyed that one.

I like Cronenberg alot!

 Maryilyn Chambers usually did porno for the Mitchell Brothers back in the day...I think this movie,and ANGEL of H.E.A.T may be her only non-porno roles! Of course...she was the Ivory Snow Girl too...

           

  My favorite Cronenberg movie would have to be SHIVERS!

 I enjoyed HISTORY of VIOLENCE also. It's alot better and well thought out then most of the garbage and mind rot that Hollywood shells out nowadays,IMO.

History of Violence was pretty good.  You don't see too many angry sex scenes anymore.   TeddyR

But nothing in terms of Cronenberg films compares to Videodrome, I think.  That was his masterpiece.

I thought that History of Violence was a great film.  But I've always seen it as a love-it-or-hate-it type film.  But that's usually what the definition of true art is in that true art forces an opinion out of someone either for or against it.

As for Rabid, I've got the DVD and I've always thought that Marilyn Chambers turned in quite a performance.    She was also quite lovely back in the day as well.
