Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.
Click this first
A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.
If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie
The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
The Cronenberg classic features Max, the self-assured owner of a niche TV station that broadcasts softporn and violent content, that he describes as a harmless outlet for regular folk. But there’s this feeling in him that things need to be amped up and so he’s on a constant lookout for harder stuff. To aid in his search, he funds a pirate hideout where his trusted buddy scans broadcasts from around the world. The duo stumble on a snuff show that Max believes is faked, but which seems like the right next step to take in further stimulating his audience.
Some of the things in here are so ahead of their time – like when the screen becomes your source of flesh, you will do embarrassing things to it in the safety of your room 🙂
even on 2x this isfucking unwatchable. can they start adding movies that are jerkoffable. add in more fight and sex scenes please.
this was fucking fire but there is just no way that I’ll ever be able to make any sense of this.
I love this film
kinda bs
aged like fine cognac. this is the world we are living in.
Too bad James woods house got burnt down. LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!
Deborah’s DELICIOUSLY JUICY POUTY LIPS 💋…….yummy yummy yummy 😋
Loves me some Deborah Harry. Kudos to James Woods and director David Cronenberg as well. What a bizarre film.
???????
Cronenbergs best movie full of eerie predictions that have come true. Still relevant today
Solid 9/10
MK ULTRA shit.lol oy veyyyyy
Good thing we dont need Channel 83, we got effedupmovies.com now 😀
3rd favourite Cronenberg movie after Rabid & The Fly, great flick, has been called a bit “Dated” especially in the complicated tech era of today, but fuck all that just enjoy it, Debbie harry is also a nice bonus.
Essential
I’ve seen this before and forgot about it so I watched it again. Now I remember why I forgot it. Although I am a big fan of James woods (he was terrific in “The Onion Field” (1979) and many more films) and I like Cronenberg’s work (“Spider” (2002) with Ralph Fiennes and a stunning performance by Miranda Richardson would fit perfectly here on EUM), and Debbie Harry put in a good performance too, I don’t feel that “Videodrome” was their finest hour. It is just too silly with the slogan “Death to Videodrome – Long live the new flesh.” It’s a well known film mainly because it is very strange but this was always destine to be a film for a cult type of audience. Some of the special effects are great like when he kills the guy from the Spectacular Optical Corporation but I can’t help but feel let down somehow by this film. It doesn’t age well either and has a dated quality to it. 3 stars.
Long live the new flesh
Obviously
