Which is your favorite sci fi horror?

Videodrome and Scanners are ace. Okay, they're not set in space but they're still sci-fi.

They are sci fi in themes, and contain bodyshock horror but I don't think Cronenburg sits easily in the scifi/horror catagory. As with eXistenze, the aforementioned films have many other themes running through them.

I would have thought Cronenburg was a key player in the scifihorror genre

But you don't read or watch much sci fi do you? Some Cronenburg films could be described as scifi horror but they have his stamp of wierdness and that makes them 'a Cronenburg film' rather than a sci fi horror film imo. Much like Lynches Dune, you could see the source material showing through but it is heavy with a Lynchian stamp.

I don't read a lot but I read more than most and I certainly watch a lot - not on the telly though

Does Starship Troopers count?

Ultra Violent, in your face nonsense.

Top film.

Same category as Aliens and Predator - sci-fi war movie...#

You're right that it's a top film tho
