Cronenberg seems to have forsaken body horror, and trailers for Antiviral look a lot like Brandon has picked up the torch.<br /><br />Blatant plug: I'll be re-posting my Cronenberg (senior) piece - spiffed up with a few extra gorey pics - as my last post for the Gore-A-Thon.<br /><br />Recycling.

I'm a huge fan of the creepy nursery rhyme.<br /><br />Cronenberg infuses EVERYTHING he does with symbolism. This time, the public went in a direction he hadn't envisioned but I'm glad he kind of embraced it. AIDS was (and is, still) a huge issue. The Pro-Choice thing is something I saw, not necessarily something Cronenberg meant.BobSmashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979273205610251417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5960520712376506856.post-76093445563903609412013-02-15T16:11:06.124-05:002013-02-15T16:11:06.124-05:00Do you happen to remember the trailer or the radio...Do you happen to remember the trailer or the radio campaigns (I don't know if you are old enough)? The trailer started out with a black background and the nursery rhyme of "The Old Man Who Swallowed A Fly". The only reason why I mention it is because the trailer creeped me out as much as the film.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of another great argument that horror can be artistic. Cornenberg really is brilliant...
