Written and directed by David Cronenberg (The Fly, The Dead Zone) based on the novel by J.G. Ballard, the film stars James Spader, Holly Hutner, Elias Koteas, Deborah Kara Unger, and Rosanna Arquette and tells the tale of a traffic collision involving a disaffected commercial producer and an enigmatic doctor that brings them together in a crucible of blood and broken glass—and it’s not long before they are all initiated into a kinky, death-obsessed underworld of sadomasochistic car-crash fetishists for whom twisted metal and scar tissue are the ultimate turn-ons.
