Does your head feel like it’s going to explode?     With Scanners, David Cronenberg plunges us into one of his most terrifying and thrilling sci-fi worlds. After a man with extraordinary — and frighteningly destructive — telepathic abilities is nabbed by agents from a mysterious rogue corporation, he discovers he is far from the only possessor of such strange powers, and that some of the other “scanners” have their minds set on world domination, while others are trying to stop them.  A trademark Cronenberg combination of the visceral and the cerebral, this phenomenally gruesome and provocative film about the expanses and limits of the human mind was the Canadian director’s breakout hit in the United States.

“David Cronenberg’s coolly clinical sci-fi Scanners is mind-blowing art for outsiders.” – Anton Bitel, VODzilla.co

“Part conspiracy thriller, part political tract, it is Cronenberg’s most coherent movie to date, drawing a dark … world in which corporate executives engineer human conception to produce ever more powerful mental samurai.” – Derek Adams, Time Out
