Cronenberg’s Compulsion

Just posted an appreciation of the great David Cronenberg. Can’t wait to watch ”Shrouds!”

”Cronenberg’s psychological horror is not about external monsters but internal disintegration. His characters are often intellectuals or professionals—scientists, doctors, artists—whose rational worldviews are systematically dismantled by subconscious drives. In this way, his films challenge Enlightenment ideals of the autonomous, rational self, suggesting instead that identity is porous, unstable, and deeply influenced by forces beyond conscious control.”
