I watched Videodrome and all I got was this terrible fucking headache.

Though I can agree with your first sentiment, I actually loved Videodrome. To me it's not only an emotionally engrossing film, but one that makes you think and keeps you guessing about the film's very nature throughout. To me it was a very frightening concept; was "videodrome" an actual conspiracy? Did Renn just go crazy and kill innocent men? Was it a real conspiracy and did he kill innocent men anyhow?
It seems to me that there's a whole lot to analyze about the film, not even including the subtext (Cronenberg doesn't believe in an afterlife, so what is the significance of becoming immortal through TV recordings?). I do guess you need some patience with the weirdness and an enthusiasm to deeply analyze to confusing parts to enjoy it.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
