In America, April 1999 was a good month for the perennially disorientated. Within the space of a few weeks, cinemas were hit with

DVD Extras: A 50-minute FX documentary, a trailer, and a choice of commentary from Cronenberg, cinematographer Peter Suschitzky or special effects blokey Jim Isaac. Version reviewed: Existenz (Momentum Pictures Home Ent) Extras: 6 out of 10

It's Got: "Bio Ports".

It Needs: "Bio Pots" (they're a variety of healthy low-fat yoghurt, apparently).

Alternatives: The Matrix, Videodrome, Total Recall, Tron

Summary: David Cronenberg's delve into a grimy video game world has lots of plus points, but isn't quite as good as it should be. Stick to 'Super Mario'. Overall Score: 6 out of 10
