Scanners (1981)
Should I see it?
Nope.

Scanners

There's an underground movement of people with extraordinary psychic powers. Using their powers they can control other's minds or even make their head explode.

Oh yeah, their heads explode.

This isn't the kind of premise which leads to a production that collects too many accolades. This is a fun premise in a irresponsible, amoral kind of way but the execution is pretty sloppy. I don't recommend this movie at all, but it is the kind of movie I'd stop on and guiltily watch for a while if it's on TV.

Those who are concerned about content or quality filmmaking will be well advised to leave this one alone. If you're given to moments of weakness and/or aren't too discerning, this may be a fun piece of stupidity.
