More Details
James Woods plays a small-time operator of a cable TV station who discovers a recurring and mysterious pirate transmission that's programming features women being degraded and tortured-much like the Fox network. This fleshy freakout from David Cronenberg is a love-it or hate-it affair, but there's all kinds of goodies for fans in this two-disc set, including commentaries from the director and cast, a short film, a look back at the make-up and effects, and a complete version of the phony snuff broadcast that Woods gets hooked on.
