Advantages: Classic Cronenberg horror
Disadvantages: No special features, can be confusing

Scanners is an unusual movie from the now acclaimed director David Cronenberg. Before Cronenberg hit the mainstream his focus was always on horror, shining examples being Shivers and Rabid, both shot in and around Toronto and Montreal, places he considered home. On his first rise of power in the directorial stakes came Scanners, a significantly different horror movie, that seemed dated even from its release. Cameron Vale (Stephen Lack) is effectively ...
...so collecting an army of Scanners to do his bidding and get revenge on those who created them. Scientist Dr. Paul Ruth (Patrick McGoohan) has been desperately trying to get to the bottom of Revock's power over other Scanners, and now with Cameron in his care he seeks the opportunity to send him out as a spy and end Revock's rule once and for all.

The pair, without a master, become hell-bent on finding a new master, the last remaining descendant of the Dracula bloodline. Michael Drake (played by Michael Pataki), is this last remaining ...
