Review of Scanners (1981) by Tonio H — 14 Oct 2007
Famous more for it's exploding head sequence, this is actually a really effective conspiracy thriller. Okay, this is low budget stuff and Stephen Lack has all the acting ability of a flat-pack wardrobe. However Patrick McGoohan and Michael Ironside more than make up for this and a solid engaging plot line build wonderfully to a truly explosive climax.
Don't judge this by today's slick production values and special effects, just sit back and enjoy a bloody good story.
