Liquid Dreams has some cult film buzz, mainly due to the movie's slight comparisons to the 1983 film Videodrome.
MacKenzie argues that Canadian cinema has a "...self-conscious concern with the incorporation of cinematic and televisual images", and as examples, he cites films such as David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983), Atom Egoyan's Family Viewing (1987), Robert Lepage's Le Confessional (1995) and Srinivas Krishna's Masala (1991).
David is best known for executive-producing iconic films directed by David Cronenberg, such as Scanners, Videodrome, and The Brood.
