Somewhat sceptical she goes to his run down warehouse laboratory to find out more.
No good will come of this.

A bit of Cronenberg that for some reason I'd never seen but then he's quite prolific. It's probably his most mainstream 'horror' movie with a well deserved popular and critical reception.
Still quite transgressive it's very accessible in a way that something like Videodrome just isn't. I'm not enamoured with how Ronnie's stalkery ex seems to suddenly become a white knight in the final act, it's a big tone change, but getting what was needed narratively from a film with just three characters perhaps justifies it.
The creature effects felt weaker than I expected but this is made up for by Goldblum's great physical performance.
A great piece of popular 80s horror 8/10.
