In fact, it´s his only film that´s virtually unrecognisible as Cronenberg´s work.
I thought it was eminently recognizable as a Cronenberg film - I just didn't like it at all! lol

@ OP.
I couldnt agree more OP!!! Ive been hoping that he would go back to make some more horror/sci-fi. I dont know why he made the movies that hes been making lately. Maybe cuz he become a little popular and people who had no idea who he was became aware of him with A History Of Violence. Those are the people who dont know much/or anything about movies. I absolutely think he should go back and do what he does best. On the other hand one cant blame the guy for wanting to try something different.

I think it's great that he doesn't want to be stuck as a genre director forever, but I think the problem is he stopped coming up with his own stories. eXistenZ is great not because it's SF or horror, but because he can really write some amazing stuff! writing a script based on a comic book or some other book is nice, but Cronenberg shines when he bares his soul.

He's the auteur, not you. He can do whatever he damn well pleases.

I would be happy just to see him write a new original screenplay!

it doesn't matter what he does now because he sucks now. the beginning of his(creative)downfall was marked by a sci fi film:existenz(aka"videodrome for idiots").

Gotta disagree. While Cosmopolis and A Map to the Stars were certainly his weakest in a long time, A History of Violence and Eastern Promises were well crafted stories that showed a maturity in Cronenberg's abilities.

i though history of violence was the least mature thing he's ever done,but to each their own.

How so?
We see Cronenberg actually use the violence in the movie to illustrate a point. It's not as, for lack of a better word, "fantastic" as in movies like The Fly or Videodrome.
It's real and it's brutal to highlight the brutality of it all. It's gruesome in an unsettling way. Which goes hand in hand with how Tom's own history of violence unsettles his family.
Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.
