Scanners von David Cronenberg könnte ein wirklich guter Horror Film sein -würde er nur versuchen, uns ein bisschen mehr zu treffen. Scanners macht aber keine Anstalten in diese Richtung. Es ist dem Film egal, wer lebt oder stirbt, wer gewinnt oder verliert. Der visuelle Stil, die elegante Ästhetik, damit beschäftigt sich David Cronenberg. Es war der vierte Film des Kanadiers, der damals bereits eine Art Kult hinter sich versammelt hatte mit seinen Low Budget Produktionen, die jedes Mal vollkommen neue Wege bestritten. Diesmal weist er uns in eine Gruppe ein, die "Scanners" heissen. Sie können mit ihren Gedanken in die Gehirne anderer eindringen und sich so sogar duellieren. Ein solch mentaler Kampf kann sogar dazu führen, Schädel zum Platzen zu bringen. Ein interessanter Film …

Freak of nature, born with a certain form of ESP; derangement of the synapses which we call telepathy. - a description of s Scanner. A type of film where the innovative enticing premise is buried by lousy acting and a dull script. This could have been an effective horror but because of its complex intricacies, countless explanations were needed. Lack of interesting figures makes this picture almost unwatchable. If only there were persuasive and likable characters and a bigger budget and time for production, this would have been better. Scanners may not have a high entertainment value with regards to character development/dialogue, it's still one of the memorable works from the master of gore which incorporates themes of technology and morality.
