eXistenZ(1999)

6.8/10

dir. David Cronenberg

S-Tier

Vinegar Syndrome S-Tier 4K. Cronenberg's virtual reality body horror got the Vinegar Syndrome treatment and it's one of the label's best transfers. The slab packaging is the usual VS quality.

Naked Lunch(1991)

7.0/10

dir. David Cronenberg

S-Tier

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Cronenberg's Burroughs adaptation with a perfect 5.0 specs score. Arrow's 4K releases have a reputation for better encoding than Criterion's equivalents. The Turbine release also exists for European collectors. Worth knowing this is deeply weird Cronenberg before pressing play.

Scanners(1981)

6.7/10

dir. David Cronenberg

S-Tier

Second Sight's 4K trilogy box has some of the best cover art in the boutique space. Only the first film is actually in 4K, which caught some buyers off guard. The original Scanners remains a Cronenberg essential and Second Sight's limited edition treatment gives it the packaging it deserves. Videodrome in 4K from Criterion is the companion disc most collectors pair it with.

The Brood(1979)

6.7/10

dir. David Cronenberg

S-Tier

Second Sight Limited Edition 4K. Part of Cronenberg's body horror trilogy alongside Scanners and Videodrome, and the one that established his obsession with flesh as a medium for psychological damage. The Second Sight packaging matches Scanners and Crimes of the Future for shelf consistency.
