Scanners offers at least one literally eye-popping moment and another that can only be called mind-blowing.
Full reviewClassic ‘80s sci-fi horror from David Cronenberg about a small, secret group of beings called Scanners – gifted with pain-inflicting psychic powers and a desire to take over the world. A scientist discovers one of these beings and converts him to wage war against his own kind.
