Review of Scanners (1981) by Lindsay B — 29 Jul 2009
A perennial favourite in "most shocking moment of all time" lists, "Scanners" still has the power to shock, though it's rather tedious detective story plot dips into mudanity before the spikes of gore for which the film is justifiably famous.
Some good lines, some classic scenes and an intriguing central idea, but far less than the sum of its parts.
