Scanners

Movie: Scanners

Rated: R

Length: 103 minutes

Year: 1980

NOTE: This review was "lifted" from Richard's Netflix review comments on Facebook...

First off, 70s-era shopping malls are bizarre - odd lighting, quasi-futuristic furniture, claustrophobic, muted colors, depressing. Was that ever conducive to shopping?

Second: the foley artist was horrible on this. Footsteps were really odd sounding, as were other SFX, which was distracting.

Third: Michael Ironside, great as always.

Fourth: that first "explosive" scanning scene and the finale were both great!
