David Cronenberg's eXistenZ is 27
After the surprising low box office performance of 1988's DEAD RINGERS, especially after coming off hot from his previous movie, 1986's THE FLY, then the box office failures of 1991's NAKED LUNCH, then this movie, David Cronenberg announced that he no longer wanted to be considered a Horror movie director. He wasn't a Horror movie director, no way! After all, he directed M. Butterfly and Crash and they weren't Horror movies.
So to speak...
Okay, so they both fell into the purview of Body Horror, but still, David was turning over a new leaf!
Then came SPIDER, and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, and EASTERN PROMISES. All of them centered around a tale of a person dealing with a past of grossly (torturously) distorting someone's body or a person living with a distorted body.
Yes, you could take the man out of the Horror, but you couldn't take out the Horror in the man's mind.
Which circles us back to 1999's eXistenZ.

BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR is 23
When Stuart Gordon (FROM BEYOND) directed writers Dennis Paoli and William Norris' insane adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's RE-ANIMATOR for Producer Brian Yuzna, it was madhouse fun!
When Brian took the reigns for BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR it was madhouse fun squared!
But Brian wasn't done with us fans of the movies. Not until he took us BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR!
