Scanners

 Recently I had the pleasure of viewing the  head-exploding, telepathy-based 'Scanners' directed by David Cronenburg. love Cronenberg... his films have the perfect combination of kitsch and creepy. Technology and its ability to warp/ mutate the human mind and body is re-occurring theme in his films such as Videodrome and The Fly. Another amazing film I recall that ran with this was 'Tetsuo  the Iron Man'- this wasn't directed by Cronenberg but is just as intense as some of his films, if not more intense because it is Japanese! Here's the trailer for Tetsuo for good measure...
