Review of Scanners (1981)

By Bill S (2,971) on 29 Mar 2015

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Brett C (553) on 11 Nov 2014

Another sleeper hit. That was an amazing film. Self-induced psycho-kinectic powers. Genius idea. Probably fairly new at the time…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Sgt. C (526) on 18 Oct 2014

(53%) David Cronenberg's much admired and quite widely known entry is largely hype as far as I'm concerned as it's mostly an over-rated sci-fi…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Ryan V (1,568) on 09 Oct 2014

Writer/director David Cronenberg crafts a grotesquely unique mixture of the sci-fi, horror, and spy genres with 1981's Scanners…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Patrick Y (105) on 06 Oct 2014

While Scanners is an interesting entry into sci-fi action by David Cronenberg, the film does what it need to do: sets up conflict between the…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By G.m. W (89) on 19 Sep 2014

David Cronenberg's Scanners is one of the those films that has more talked-about scenes in it than it actually has a great storyline…

Scanners is about a power I sometimes wish I had…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Ingmar A (69) on 28 Aug 2014

Of Cronenberg's early films, this is one of his best. An exciting combination of Sci-Fi and Horror…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Seth Y (151) on 23 Jun 2014

Michael Ironside's literally gave a mind-blowing performance no one will soon forget…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Jenna I (601) on 19 Jun 2014

What it lacks in acting it makes up in an enjoyable plot and special effects (pretty brutal!)…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Scubasteve Walter M (522) on 03 May 2014

If Professor X was a nasty SOB, this is it! Scanners deal with the dangerous potential of telepaths…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Dyllan R (43) on 29 Apr 2014

Eerily spectacular. Cerebral and so damn bloody…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Robert C (1,701) on 27 Apr 2014

Watched this film the other night, really good. I remember it from when I was young, but not properly. Great suspence all the way through…

Review of Scanners (1981)

By Will K (196) on 17 Apr 2014

A great concept and has some good scenes, however I wish it had more scenes like those…
