- Tom Bennett11. desember 2025Yes it’s schlocky and a bit low budget and there’s some subpar performances like (cough Lack cough) but overall a good story told in a classic David Cronenberg style with all of the body horror and twists and turns you’ve come to expect. Michael Ironside goes all in on a fine physical performance as the villain. The legendary Patrick McGoohan (from ‘the prisoner’ series) plays his nemesis with great flair and a crazy monologue. The pacing is great and of course we have longtime collaborator Howard Shore contributing one of his best soundtracks to really amp things up, all set against the backdrop of a Canadian winter. Scanners has a definite mood and atmosphere. I wanted to be a scanner when I saw this movie in my teens and fantasised about using my scanner powers to take down the school bully! If you’re down for a classic Cronenberg thriller with a little bit of body horror, some decent performances and a satisfying ending then I recommend.
