Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: [It's] meant to have a whiff of the philosophical, even if its intellectual ambition seems mostly limited to spelling affectations.
Fresh: Jennifer Jason Leigh is an ideal Cronenberg heroine, projecting a personality that is smart, wary and capable of obsessiveness.
Fresh: It's a pleasure to find the brooding Cronenberg turning out a trifle, even if it's a dark trifle.
Fresh: This darkly sexual sci-fi horror variant by Cronenberg makes The Matrix look like child's play.
Customer Reviews
Its alright
I love cronenburg and even the flesh films like Videodrome but this movie was a disappointment. It might have been the scripting but I think my problem was with Jennifer Leigh. I think….I think I don't like her. Something about her voice, her face, her persona. I don't like it. It's very uncomfortable to me.
The movie also seemed very lazily put together. Great concept, just poorly executed.
love it
One of my favorite movies. Low budget, creative, surreal, dream-like absurdity. It's not for everyone, but it is definitely a cult classic in my opinion, and my opinion rules. :)
SCANNERS please!?
Can we have SCANNERS please. The greatest movie of all time.
