it would be tough for me to reccomend Scanners to just anyone ...
I like it - i saw it when it was new .. vintage cronenberg .. but fans of horror today might find it a bit off. the lead is pretty wooden .. he wasnt really an actor - he was a visual artist.
Somehow - for me - the less than polished performances in cronenbergs earlier films make them work .. make them seem more real. (especially Shivers)
he was the ultimate 70's horror film maker for me ..gritty and creepy.
i guess i'm saying .. check it out ... just prepare yourself for a less than polished look and feel..
(again, this is why i like it)
