Entertainment Reviews:
In Cronenberg's icy, insidious original the head-to-heads exude a menacing intensity...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 7/10 --
Cronenberg is so great at juxtaposing the surreal with the mundane to generate both creeps and (nervous) laughter.

Movie Metropolis
Like Tod Browning, Cronenberg doesn't have the stylistic resources to match the forcefulness of his ideas, but his movies remain in the mind for the pull of their private obsessions.

Chicago Reader
4 stars out of 5 -- David Cronenberg's original 1981 cult classic remains serious sci-fi...
Total Film
David Cronenberg's coolly clinical sci-fi Scanners is mind-blowing art for outsiders.

[W]onderfully paranoid and menacingly moody...
Uncut
Rating: 2/4 --
Scanners is so lockstep that we are basically reduced to watching the special effects, which are good but curiously abstract, because we don't much care about the people they're happening around.

Product Description:
Scanners are men and women born with incredible telepathic and telekinetic powers. This breed of superbrains was developed as an accidental side effect of a tranquilizer administered to some women during pregnancy. Cameron Vale is one such scanner, and he, like most of those with similar powers, exercises the benefits of his special gifts in a safe and judicious manner. But a group of renegade scanners, led by the nefarious Revok, plans to create a race of telepathic ubermenschen who will rule the world. Vale must team up with a like-minded female scanner in order to thwart the plans of the fiendish gang. The protracted end game between Revok and Vale is heightened by a dark secret which is shockingly revealed just before their duel begins.
