scanners (1981)


"All right. We're gonna do this the scanner way. I'm gonna suck your brain dry!"
An underground network of people called 'scanners' threatens the world as we know it. These are people with psychic powers and the ability to control others, who led by Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside) is determined to achieve world domination. Cameron Vale (Stephen Lack) is an undiscovered psychic, who is tasked with finding Revok and bringing down his network, by Doctor Paul Ruth (Patrick McGoohan).
A scientist sends a man with extraordinary psychic powers to hunt others like him.
Cronenberg continues his exploration of body horror, this time concentrating on the brain. More money brings better actors and better special effects. A cult classic.
