Review of Scanners (1981)

By G C (46) on 29 Jun 2008

How can you hate on a movie with a telepathic head explosion, of course it's cheesy, but it was the 80's…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Paul P (1,688) on 28 Jun 2008

The second time around, I like it a lot more than I did before…

This movie is awesome because a guys fucking head explodes…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Ray M (175) on 26 Jun 2008

Stodgy at times but everything you would expect from an early work of Cronenberg; Surreal visual design and a haunting soundtrack set the tone…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Hugo G (498) on 26 Jun 2008

Starts off well enough as a generally effective horror with good atmosphere…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Johannes H (27) on 26 Jun 2008

Love Cronenbergs style! Got to see more of him…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Davy Z (7) on 26 Jun 2008

Great classic film. The final fight between the legendary Michael Ironside and Stephen Lack is fucking awesome. Yeah â??awesome!â…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Jeff W (588) on 25 Jun 2008

This film's concept was fairly interesting, but as others have stated, the main character is just such an awful actor…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Mike P (1,383) on 24 Jun 2008

Awesome movie! Pure Cronenberg with some very trippy ideas and visuals…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Felice T (41) on 23 Jun 2008

An okay thriller, with some fantasic gory effects…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Nicola G (58) on 21 Jun 2008

Good storyline, interesting to see the obvious influences these older movies have on current series and movies…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Mike L (1,553) on 13 Jun 2008

Such a stinker. terrible acting, so many plot holes... but i'll give it a star because of that scene where some guy's head blows up…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Tim H (1,310) on 12 Jun 2008

To my knowledge, the first david cronenberg film I ever saw…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Joshua P (517) on 08 Jun 2008

Disturbing and fun. After a while, you get tired of people staring at one another while clenching their teeth, but a fun ride nonetheless…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Mark R (985) on 04 Jun 2008

A Cronenberg classic. God I wish I had a secret brother Devon and I wish I had the ability to make people's heads explode by staring at them. I wish…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Antti T (34) on 03 Jun 2008

It could have been more interesting, because it's a little bit boring. There's some good stuff, too: for example, the effects…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Dan W (491) on 29 May 2008

Yeah, Michael Ironside makes a guy's head explode and it's awesome...I love Cronenberg…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Colin F (279) on 24 May 2008

Like a comicbook movie, done Cronenberg-style…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Daniel S (2,332) on 20 May 2008

The movie doesn't make good on its premise…
