"Scanners offers at least one literally eye-popping moment and another that can only be called mind-blowing."

"Looks less like Cronenberg's popular mid-'70s exploiters than one of his early experimental films remade on a higher budget"

"Cronenberg delivers."

"Made with enough craft and skill that it could have been very good, if it could find a way to make us care about it."
