BRAIN FRY!!!!!!
Review date: 2007-02-25 Rating: 10 out of 10
Let me start by saying im NOT a massive Cronenberg fan, I find most of his films sick and too graffic, BUT, like The Fly and The Dead Zone, Scanners is EXCELLENT, it is dark, gritty, stylish and well acted. Scanners 2 is capable as a sequel as is Scanners 3 but I found that the "head jerking" in Scanners 3 a tad laughable. I cant say that Scanners is a great socialogical work or groundbreaking special effects (although the head/brain explosion using a 12 gauge shotgun is genius!) but all in all it is well though out and enjoyable, but please note...
DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOLE ON THE SCIENTISTS FACE IN THE COMPUTER EXPLOSION SCENE OF SCANNERS AS YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING ELSE!
I give Scanners a solid 5, scanners 2 & 3 add to the value but by themselves only score a 3
