If you enjoy unsettling horror, experimental films, and Kristen Stewart in intense roles, you’ll be happy to know there’s still time to stream a movie that’s been uniquely described as a blend of Viggo Mortensen channeling Rutger Hauer’s performance in “Blade Runner” with a touch of “Nosferatu.” Some viewers have called it delightfully gruesome, while others find it nostalgic and fun. It currently has an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but it’s leaving Hulu on October 30th—just before Halloween! Don’t miss out.
David Cronenberg’s *Crimes of the Future*, which premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, is definitely designed to shock and challenge viewers. Starring Viggo Mortensen, Lea Seydoux, and Kristin Stewart – actors known for their work in unconventional films – the movie takes place in a future where humans are physically changing to adapt to their highly artificial surroundings, resulting in bizarre new mutations. The film follows celebrity artist Saul Tenser (Mortensen) and his partner Caprice (Seydoux) as they publicly display these transformations through increasingly strange performances. Meanwhile, Investigator Timlin (Stewart) from the National Organ Registry tries to understand what’s behind it all. The film has a surreal, dreamlike quality that’s both unsettling and captivating.
Crimes Of The Future Had People Leaving The Theater
Cronenberg predicted strong reactions to his film at Cannes, even anticipating some viewers would leave within the first five minutes. He wasn’t wrong – there were walkouts. However, the film ultimately received a six-minute standing ovation. Cronenberg had heard from early viewers that the final 20 minutes would be particularly difficult, with one person even saying it almost triggered a panic attack.
David Cronenberg often provokes strong reactions with his films. His movie *Crash*, adapted from J.G. Ballard’s novel, is famous – and controversial – for its depiction of people who find car accidents sexually exciting. It even caused some viewers to walk out during screenings, though it did receive a special jury prize at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, which further fueled the controversy surrounding the director.
