Verdict on Crimes of the Future
Crimes of the Future is a disturbing sci-fi horror from the mind of David Cronenberg. It dives into a futuristic world where transhumans have created synthetic organs to live. We follow a performance artist as he uses the world to perform surgeries for the world.
This is one of the many David Cronenberg movies that looks to push the boundaries of reality in disturbing manners. Using sex and pain to make his attempt at a twisted story. The best way to describe this movie would be, if you like most of Cronenberg’s body horrors, you will understand and get something out of it. If you aren’t a fan of his work, this isn’t going to change your mind.
Final Thoughts – Crimes of the Future is an odd uncomfortable movie.
