external linkHaving only mediocre expectations when first viewing eXistenZ, I found myself very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Though a bit like old times, this film can still easily stand on it's own two feet. Truly a testament that DC has definitelynot lost his edge, I recommend this to fans and skeptics alike.


external linkThe problem with this kind of film is that it doesn't matter where it ends. As a result, we're not only left without a resolution, which can be okay, but with a feeling that the whole damn thing was pointless, which isn't okay. 57/100

external linkAlthough not one of Cronenberg's best, it nonetheless was a vast improvement over such drivel as "Crash". Well worth catching, even if it seems a little derivative of the director's past work, most notably "Videodrome," with its talk of the "new flesh."
