Film Description
The collected edition of the sci-fi horror trilogy about a disparate breed of telepaths operating on the fringes of a hostile human society. Contains Scanners (Cronenberg, 1981), Scanners II - The New Order (Duguay, 1991) and Scanners III (Duguay, 1992).
In 'Scanners' (1981), director David Cronberg introduces the concept of the group of psychics, nicknamed 'scanners' for their ability to read minds, who can also induce massive brain haemorrhaging in their subjects by locking into their nervous system. Stephen Lack plays Cameron, a 'good' scanner sent out by a team of doctors to track down the psychics who are using their powers for evil purposes, and who are led by Cameron's brother, Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside).
In 'Scanners 2' (1991), a corrupt police commander decides to use the scanners to help take over the city, convincing evil scientist Dr Morse to help him. Morse has plans to use a new mind-controlling drug on the telepaths, but has not reckoned with a rogue scanner who is determined to stop them.
Finally, 'Scanners 3' (1993) sees a young girl with exceptional telepathic abilities become a deranged killer when she tries an experimental drug developed by her father, and who then uses her abilities to cut a murderous swathe to the top of his pharmaceutical company. On her quest to dominate the world, she takes over a television station, and the only man who can stop her is her scanner brother, recently returned from honing his skills in a Thai monastery.
