Review of Scanners (1981) by Graeme G — 18 Oct 2010
I haven't seen Scanners for a while & the only thing I remember about it was it had an exploding head & starred Michael Ironside. The reason for that probably is they were the best things about it.
Even though this is good I was a little disappointed w/ this Cronenberg outing but I think that's because I liked Videodrome so much. This sorta lost my interest a bit about 2/3rds through but it does make up for it w/ a raging climax w/ exploding eyeballs.
.The 'he is your father' twist made me chuckle because it reminded me of The Empire Strikes Back. Well Scanners sorta are like Jedi; they both are telepathic curiosities.
