[Frameworks] Entertaining the film

[Dave Tetzlaff]

Reminds me I forgot Wes Cravens New Bightmare, which differs from Videodrome in that the TV world there only overtakes Max’s reality, while in New Nightmare the filmic world emerges into the diegesis as a whole, affecteing several characters. Moreover, the diegesis is presented more as actual reality, since the performers are appearing as themselves: Robert Englund is Robert England, Heather Langenkamp is Heather Langenkamp, etc. 


> On the videodrome tip (of a cinematic fiction invading “reality”), the argento produced 80s horror movie Demons is about a horror movie sort of “spilling over” into the world of the characters in the cinema viewing the film.
