just saw scanners
i don't think i'd ever watched it entirely. great film, very canadian feel to it (eg. you can tell it's n. american but somehow.. european), colors were terrific. it's a monumental pity that the main character is such a hammy actor. all the other performers were quite good and he sticks out with this contrast. dubbing was a bit dodgy in spots.
the spy-like intrigue/horror sub-genre is not one that i imagine contains a lot of movies.. people might erroneously call scanners a sci-fi but i don't think so. the facial freak-out telekenesis scenes were of the highest order!
