Just a fantastic re-visioning for a classic sci-fi film. I hear he plans on remaking this one again, and I don't think he can make it better. It doesn't need to be updated. It's perfect the way it is.

It's funny, dramatic, thrilling, gross, and sad. Most movies have a hard time pulling off one or two of those - this one hits the ball and touches them all. Grand slam!

It'll be reviewed in September since it'll fit the theme set for that month.

Definitely in the Top 3 of remakes IMO. And I think it's Cronenberg's most accessible film.
