Viewing Notes

Finally watched the DVD of this I bought used from a Blockbuster back in the 2000s! LOL. Not available on Blu-ray unfortunately. Great film while also being one of the most non-Cronenberg films I’ve seen of his. And what a great cast!

In the making of doc on the disc, Cronenberg said he (and two producers and the two lead actors) all deferred their salaries to get this made. Not sure that they ever made their money back.
