David Cronenberg has been turning out creepy, memorable
films that range from good to great for more than four decades, and one of his
fan favorites, 1981’s Scanners, just got the Criterion
Blu-ray treatment. If you have any inkling that you need to add this to your
collection, do it, now, don’t waste any time. This is the Canadian auteur in
the middle of an epic run, preceded by Shivers, Rabid,
and The Brood, and followed immediately by
Videodrome, The Dead Zone, and
The Fly. Most filmmakers can only dream of a string of
movies like that.
