Scanners (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

With SCANNERS, David Cronenberg plunges us into considered one of his most terrifying and thrilling sci-fi worlds. After a person with extraordinary and frighteningly damaging telepathic skills, is nabbed by brokers from a mysterious rogue company, he discovers he’s removed from the one possessor of such unusual powers, and that among the different scanners have their minds set on world domination, whereas others are attempting to cease them. A trademark Cronenberg mixture of the visceral and the cerebral, this phenomenally grotesque and provocative movie concerning the expanses and limits of the human thoughts was the Canadian director’s breakout hit in america.
