How many Cronenberg films reference 'The New Flesh'?!


Question: How many Cronenberg films reference 'The New Flesh'!?
I'm doing a project on David Cronenberg, focusing on the idea of 'the new flesh' (by which I mean an object or person which is a combination of organic material and technology)!. I've seen Videodrome, eXistenZ and The Fly, all of which feature some kind of melding of machines and living things, but do any of his other films!? also, if anyone knows any films by other directors which contain the same sort of idea, I'd really like to know about them!.

Answers:
It's a common theme in his films, at least on the surface
Shivers/They Came From Within - Deals with an artificially created sexual parasite which takes over man's thoughts + actions!. Although the Parasite is organic it is a scientific creation, the scientist creating it dies in the opening scenes, which is a common theme again in his films - the concept of unleashing chaos
Rabid - Deals with a vampiric disease caused by experimental Plastic surgery
The Brood - deals with the creation of children due to emotional outbursts within the parent!. This film has been seen as a metaphor for Cronenbergs divorce
Scanners - the telepathy is caused by a drug given to expectant mothers during pregnancy and the telepathic powers are a side effect of this!.
The Dead Zone - what's strange about this is that this film is more Stephen King like than the book, and the book is more Cronenberg like than the film!. The second sight appears to a result of a brain tumour induced or a least invorigated by the road accident at the start
Videodrome obviously quotes the new flesh, and it's the last film until Existenz which is based on original material - this is partly why some of the themes/concerns change in his later filmWww@Enter-QA@Com
