Critic Reviews of "Scanners"
Chicago ReaderJune 05, 2007Like 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.
VarietyJune 05, 2007All this should give fans of David Cronenberg's previous pix their money's worth, although lack of any rooting interest vitiates any possible suspense and highly elegant visual style works against much shock value.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Part conspiracy thriller, part political tract, it is Cronenberg's most coherent movie to date, drawing a dark (but bland) world in which corporate executives engineer human conception to produce ever more powerful mental samurai.
Chicago Sun-TimesOctober 23, 2004Scanners 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.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004The quality of the film's inventiveness is not always of the first order, which is too bad because Mr. Cronenberg does seem to be a director-writer of some style.
Q Network Film DeskAugust 20, 2014an intriguing and (by Cronenberg's standards, at least) fun movie
Movie MetropolisAugust 03, 2014Cronenberg is so great at juxtaposing the surreal with the mundane to generate both creeps and (nervous) laughter.
The DissolveJuly 14, 2014The generous selection of bonus features includes vintage elements, like a trailer made up almost entirely of the exploding-head scene, a handful of radio spots, and a 1981 talk-show appearance in which Cronenberg discusses his work up to that point.
Film Comment MagazineJuly 07, 2014Scanners consolidates the ruling problematic of the Cronenberg project from the sex slugs of Shivers to the financial abstractions of Cosmopolis: what are the effects of signals on an organism?
Reel Film ReviewsJanuary 22, 2014Scanners, for the most part, is unable to distinguish itself from other similarly-themed horror thrillers...
TV GuideJune 05, 2007Ironside is fantastic as the lethal Revok, helping make this a popular cult favorite.
