Crimes of the Future

About This Movie

Crimes of the Future, directed by David Cronenberg, is a haunting dive into a dystopian future where a plague has seemingly erased sexually mature women due to cosmetic use. The film's atmosphere is thick with dread and confusion, as we follow Adrian Tripod, who runs a skin clinic. There's a rawness to the practical effects, with Cronenberg's penchant for body horror on full display. The pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike, which adds to its unsettling tone. Themes of identity, decay, and the grotesque intertwine throughout, making it a distinctive piece in the horror and sci-fi genres. The performances, particularly from Tripod himself, are unnervingly memorable, contributing to an overall sense of disquiet.
