On the run with Ted Pikul, a young marketing trainee who falls into the role of bodyguard, Allegra convinces Ted to join her in her game, eXistenZ. As the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur, the real-life dangers they sought to escape start to merge with their virtual world.

Bedømmelser og anmeldelser

David Cronenberg has great fun here referencing his past "body horror" genre films, especially Videodrome (1983) and The Fly (1986). Cronenberg is a master at creating an alluring dream-like atmosphere in his films and Existence (1999) draws you within it's strange and dangerous world where dream and reality coexist.
