Scanners (1981)

£0.00


Country: CAN
Technical: col 103m
Director: David Cronenberg
Cast: Jennifer O'Neill, Patrick McGoohan, Stephen Lack, Michael Ironside

Synopsis:

A man with unprecedented psychokinetic powers is tasked by a scientist with finding others like him so that they can be worked by the government.

Review:

Cronenberg's vision of a future arms race is his customary concoction of high-concept mise-en-scène and joke character names. Its notorious demo scene with the exploding head was an epoch-making stunt no doubt responsible for the high footfall for this, his last low-key Canadian production.
