Videodrome

Videodrome is about a man name Max who is exposed to the videodrome signal which caused him to see hallucinations. Only he can interact with these hallucinations because they eventually become his reality. Later on, the ones who control the videodrome signal attempt to control Max to kill other people with the videotapes they inserted into his abdomen but is stopped by Bianco Oblivion. He then kills the antagonists and removes the "old flesh" so he can ascend to the next level of videodrome.

The whole movie seemed weird and surreal because of how the television became reality to Max and was able to control him. It is a more extreme take of how much television has an influence on our lives to the point where some of us would schedule our lives around a certain show time so we wouldn't miss any episode. Or in some cases, people would try to emulate what they see on TV but because they aren't professionals, would get hurt or killed. That is sort of what happened to Max where the television controlled what he saw and did until it told him to kill himself.
