I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this but also conflated with Strange Days. Need to watch both again.

eXistenZ is a 1999 science fiction horror film written, produced and directed by David Cronenberg. The film follows Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a game designer who becomes the target of assassins while playing a virtual reality game of her own creation. An international co-production between Canada, the United Kingdom, and France, it also stars Jude Law, Ian Holm, Don McKellar, Callum Keith Rennie, Sarah Polley, Christopher Eccleston, Willem Dafoe, and Robert A. Silverman.

The film received mostly positive reviews upon release. Cronenberg was awarded the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival.

    Love this movie. So… Cronenberg. Not sure I could ever confuse it with another movie. It’s not perfect but it’s always interesting.

    Blocked only in Canada, for some reason.

    I watched this with my dad and he was “curse your ancestors and your ancestors’ ancestors” angry at the ending 😂 to me it was pretty predictable but he just went nuts for some reason LOL

    E: just to be clear, there is nothing wrong with this movie, my father was the kind of guy that did not like to feel off balance. He hated pulp fiction for that reason “this movie is all over the map!” Ahahha dad
