One of the most singular auteurs of the horror and science fiction genres, David Cronenberg has wowed audiences with his depictions of body transformations and explorations of society. His early short and feature films shows a master learning his craft and exploring many of the themes that would dominate his most celebrated work. From the Drain (1967) finds two men in a bathtub, which may be part of a centre for veterans of a future war. Cronenberg's early amateur feature films, shot in and around his university campus, prefigure his later films' concerns with strange institutions, male/female separation and ESP, echoing the likes of Videodrome, Dead Ringers and Scanners.
