Review of Scanners (1981)

By Heather K (226) on 28 Apr 2008

It's overly easy to get on a Cronenberg kick, his bizarre combination of sci-fi and horror definitely hit the spot providing one has a little…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Kat S (303) on 28 Apr 2008

Extremely subtle, gory and fun attempt of an action/sci-fi thriller with the usual Cronenberg trademarks such as machinery of evil and horror…
