56 of 56 · most liked firstEXISTENZ (1999) Dir. David Cronenberg A film that feels more relevant with time. Cronenberg explores virtual worlds and screen addiction through physical decay and organic technology. Practical effects are intentionally repulsive. The tone is bleak but the film’s warnings linger long after it ends🎞️📽️

unlabelledView post →Now watching Existenz (1999). I’m actually not sure if I’ve seen it or not. I remember being excited for it as a young movie dork, but don’t have any memories if I ever ended up seeing it. Anyway, here’s to some weird body stuff 📽️ #horrorsky
unlabelledView post →MOVIE #10 - NIRVANA (1997). Without a doubt the best Christmas themed cyberpunk film starring Christopher Lambert directed by an Italian. Pre-dates a lot of the visuals and ideas found in Cronenberg's EXISTENZ. Looks like an FMV game.
unlabelledView post →One of my few treasured memories of my teenage years was spending a Sunday at the dollar theatre, handing the ticket person $4 then watching every movie they were showing on all 4 screens. It was an incredible lineup of films too: Existenz, The Matrix, 13th Floor, and Being John Malkovich.
unlabelledView post →I loved The Fly & Videodrome. Existenz is also really good & fun. but I think the movie that affected me the most was Dead Ringers. It's so disturbing and sad and Jeremy Irons' performance was incredible. He didn't get the US recognition for it but won a Best Actor Genie.
unlabelledView post →Saw ExISTENz (which messes with my rule of writing film titles in all caps) for the first time and on the big screen today and walked out of the cinema with a huge smile on my face and a spring in my step ❤️
unlabelledView post →Saw Cronenberg’s newest movie The Shrouds yesterday and it was more potent than I was prepared for. It’s of a part with Videodrome and Existenz but also a summation of everything he’s worked with. One of the most blunt accounts of aging and death since Haneke’a Amour.
unlabelledView post →Not necessarily a date since we’d been in a relationship for a couple of years at this point, but taking my then girlfriend to see EXISTENZ because she liked Jude Law. After that, she chose every movie for the next few years, which meant many rom-coms.
unlabelledView post →This, 100% There was all sorts of weird, gloomy, kind of existential sci fi and horror at the end of the 90's, but it got very overshadowed. Existenz arguably falls in to this category as well, and even its status as a Cronenberg film doesn't seem to have boosted its visibility that much.
unlabelledView post →Existenz has long been my favorite Cronenberg movie which doesn’t seem to be a widely shared view. I say it’s the funnest of his body horror films, more accessible (like the Fly) than a lot of his stuff
unlabelledView post →It was so interesting that Sigourney Weaver was serious about having David Cronenberg direct ALIEN RESURRECTION. & Cronenberg said he considered it, but if he had, he would’ve had to have been absoultely committed to making the movie the studio wanted-a studio professional & so he made EXISTENZ
unlabelledView post →Wie nennt man das denn, wenn Zivilisten eine Seeblockade durchbrechen wollen, gewaltlos in Gewahrsam genommen werden, Verpflegung erhalten und dann, wenn ihnen vor der Ausweisung der Film gezeigt wird, dessen Existenz sie abwechselnd leugnen und feiern, die Augen schließen und den Film nicht gucken?
unlabelledView post →The early design concepts for the PS2 were heavily inspired by the classic film, Existenz. It's a shame more of those features didn't make the cut, but the Dual Shock 2 was probably a better choice than the original controller design
unlabelledView post →Watching ExistenZ now and I didn't expect it to be a game dev movie in Cronenberg style. Super cool to be honest. The movie features a gun shooting with human teeth it's so sick.
unlabelledView post →This is all the same genre of movie, what do we call it: The Matrix Existenz The 13th Floor The One Dark City
unlabelledView post →happy Existenz Day. it’s a day for appreciating the movie Existenz. you don’t even have to watch it, just acknowledging it is fine.

unlabelledView post →David Cronenberg's mindbender EXISTENZ (1999) is the best movie ever made about video games. My appreciation in The Definitives is now free from the paywall. Enjoy! Read: www.deepfocusreview.com/definitives/... #filmsky #moviesky #movies #cinema

unlabelledView post →#cronenberg #existenz I just watched Cronenberg's ExisTenZ and noticed the promotional website URL in the closing credits. 30 years on, it's nothing to do with the film anymore.

unlabelledView post →Great watch, ExistenZ is a favorite Cronenberg film.
unlabelledView post →In movie history there have been many eating scenes (Tom Jones, Existenz etc.) Have any actors been sickened because they left the food too long in a warmer while setting up the shot? Any actors get sick because they're doing retakes and they wind up eating 3x what they should?
unlabelledView post →So happy to see ExistenZ on there. Loved that movie.

unlabelledView post →The only other two films I've seen by David Cronenberg are The Fly and A History of Violence with Viggo Mortensen (a long time ago now). I hope to see them again one day (along with others!) 🧵 2/ #DavidCronenberg #NakedLunch #Crash #Existenz #Movies #Cinema
unlabelledView post →Film 56: Sequence Break. Video Game Drone sounds like a cool idea, but Cronenberg already made Existenz, and this is nowhere near as good as either of those films.
unlabelledView post →Guess I’m catching a block because I thought Existenz was a great movie. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
unlabelledView post →Says a fucking lot of people, what the fuck do you mean? If you tell me Existenz is a good movie, you're catching a block because that level of vapid thought is not something anyone should have to put up with. Crash is also famously unliked.
unlabelledView post →Tomorrow’s video is on eXistenZ, which I somehow find grosser every time I think about it. I’m less interested in solving the ending than in what the movie does to the body: the way the game stops feeling like something separate from you. That’s the part that sticks with me. #eXistenZ #FilmEssay
unlabelledView post →I watched Existenz for the first time recently and the body horror stuff made me feel extremely grossed out and uncomfortable but I wouldn't call it a "scary" movie. It's a great thriller but I never really felt scared
unlabelledView post →For me ,that was ExistenZ. my "the matrix" movie.
unlabelledView post →A rogue misspelled awesome David Cronenberg movie has appeared! asixteenz ? No, Existenz! ( I do NOT want to know what asixteenz might be, ug )
unlabelledView post →Oooh does this mean ExistenZ might be on the list? Loooove that movie
unlabelledView post →If you like the ExistenZ movie , i think this is it's grandfather..
unlabelledView post →Existenz is a good video game movie
unlabelledView post →Fun side notes - This served as half the base footage that was adapted into Robotech: The Movie in the US. Also, it likely served as inspiration to the boom of existential sci-fi movies in the late 90's - Matrix, Dark City, Existenz, etc.

unlabelledView post →Aww, cute. I'm watching #eXistenZ and Jude Law's character has just exclaimed "all games can be paused, right?" I mean, that's such a movie-was-made-in-1999 phrase 😂😂

Also, this absolutely wholesome nightmarish scene from the extremely underrated movie #eXistenZ is etched into my brain since more than 25 years.

unlabelledView post →Just watched the movie eXistenZ (1999). Pretty cool. Very original for its time.. Without spoiling it, if you like video games, you'll probably like it! #Movie #MovieRecommendation #Existenz
unlabelledView post →I'm sorry but this low budget disaster got zero interest from me. The props were horrid. The story was ridiculous; really, it was just so "stupid". Maybe I should be using bigger words, but this movie was just awful in every way. I rarely give up on a movie; I feel like someone shouldn't give a movie a bad review unless they've seen the entire thing. I've seen the entire thing, finally. It was almost painful to get through. It is just a cheap and dreadful production. The SyFy channel makes…
negative · AI labelView post →Free will is obviously not a big factor in this little world of ours. Hee, yet another David Cronenberg picture that divides opinions, not just among the casual film watchers, but also his most ardent fans. Plot is a little nutty in actuality, as it finds Jennifer Jason Leigh as the world's most high profile games designer. While testing her new virtual reality game out with a focus group, an assassination attempt puts her on the run with an ally of sorts, marketing man Ted Pikul (Jude Law).…
