What Reelgood users are saying

"Scanners" is a good sci-fi horror with impressive special effects and a great story. Some parts feel drawn out, and the acting can be laughable or not spectacular, though some actors perform well. The style is very much of its time but remains unsettling and fun to watch.

The style is very of its time. The acting is laughable at times but overall it’s still unsettling, good, fun sci-fi horror. Definitely worth the watch.
