David Cronenberg, with another of his 80's contributions. This time you've got Michael Ironside (bad guy from Total Recall) being bad.
Plot: There's these folks called 'Scanners', they're able to control ya mind and make ya do stuff and things. A company called ConSec are trying to control em and capture the main bad guy-Ironside. To do this though, they need a scanner of their own- Stephen Lack, one that isn't evil to the bone and unlikely to blow their minds-actually. They set him off to fix their problem, only for him to investigate and realise that ConSec themselves are the guilty party.
Budget: $3,500,000
Gross: $14,225,876
Best Scene: The magnificent exploding head.
Fun Fact: Cronenberg was writing the script from 4-7am each morning, such were the time restraints on the production. There are 2 sequels and a couple of spin-offs, including repeated promises of a remake/TV show.
