Review of Scanners (1981)

By Maria T (125) on 07 Mar 2008

This movie was amazing! The ending was a bit of a let-down though…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Kenneth N (85) on 06 Mar 2008

If you like watching heads get blown off from multiple angles this film is for you…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Lee K (515) on 04 Mar 2008

Weird, then again everything that cronenberg puts out usually follows suit. Great job by michael ironside…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Christian F (81) on 03 Mar 2008

Mind bending frolics from cronenberg the king of fleshtwisting and grinding and decaying and exploding - you think of an adjective and he's…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Hugh J (286) on 01 Mar 2008

One has to remember this movie was made in the early 80's. Effects etc are a bit disappointing now. But overall the move still works for me…

Alright, Cameron. We'll do this the Scanner way. I'm going to suck your brain dry! Awesome…

By Davey J (38) on 26 Feb 2008

Has the Cronenberg gore, but lacks his drama…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Alexander A (393) on 24 Feb 2008

OK. Can't go wrong with exploding heads, really, but the acting is a little flat and the people are really quite unusuall ugly…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Cody M (1,392) on 19 Feb 2008

I really wanted to like this, but the acting was so goddamn awful…

Cool movie-I need to see this again sometime…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Andy J (115) on 13 Feb 2008

Classic 80's horror effects(pre-CGI)…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By X T (149) on 12 Feb 2008

Good idea for a movie, but dear god was this a suck-fest…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Graham L (333) on 07 Feb 2008

Cronenberg moves into bombastic violence and weirdness here, creating some of the most memorable gore scenes in movie history…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Evan H (764) on 05 Feb 2008

I saw this movie when I was 13 years old it's great…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Patrick S (1,063) on 02 Feb 2008

And I thought I reviewed this too.....it's overrated. The only reason people care about this was the head explosion and that was cool…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Bob L (321) on 31 Jan 2008

People who can blow up other people's noggins. What's not to like…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Bryan D (308) on 29 Jan 2008

As others have said, I expected more exploding heads. But otherwise, this is as good as campy sci-fi/horror gets…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Marc B (578) on 29 Jan 2008

My least favorite David Cronenberg movie (even more than eXistenZ. Love the exploding head…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Michael S (3,461) on 26 Jan 2008

A decent horror film that is still classic Cronenberg. The story is decent, but not as fleshed out as I would have liked…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Brian H (1,202) on 26 Jan 2008

Any movie with people's heads exploding is okay in my book…
