"Videodrome" (ビデオドローム), Original Re-Release Japanese Movie Poster 1987, B2 Size (51 x 73cm) B28 A

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1987 for a Japanese theatrical re-release of David Cronenberg’s cult body-horror classic Videodrome (ビデオドローム). With its infamous imagery and prescient themes—media addiction, voyeurism, and the literal collapse of “screen” and “body”—Videodrome has become one of the most collectible titles in Cronenberg’s filmography, and Japanese B2s are particularly scarce compared with standard international one-sheets.

Film background
Videodrome (1983) is a Canadian science-fiction horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg. It stars James Woods as Max Renn, a sleazy cable-TV programmer who discovers a mysterious broadcast called “Videodrome,” alongside Deborah Harry (of Blondie) and Ian Holm. The film’s reputation has only grown over time: a genuinely unsettling, idea-driven shocker that anticipates modern anxieties around screen culture and “content” as something that can shape—甚至 rewrite—human behaviour.

Poster design
This Japanese re-release B2 leans fully into the film’s most iconic, confrontational motif: a stark white body/hand emerging from a rumpled bed-sheet field, gripping a handgun—a single surreal image that feels both clinical and obscene, perfectly matching Cronenberg’s “new flesh” worldview. The bold purple VIDEODROME masthead, plus the black diagonal 「ビデオドローム」 snipe, gives the sheet a sharp, graphic finish—minimal text, maximum unease.
