what did I just watch?
Scanners 3 could just be the most unrelentingly ludicrous film in movie history, no exaggeration. I’m actually surprised it doesn’t seem to have built up a retro cult fanbase the way movies like Troll 2, The Room or Samurai Cop have. I think it could easily reach those giddy heights of ‘so-bad-it’s-ridiculous’ acclaim if enough of the right audience saw it. It veers like a drunk on steroids from one totally demented set piece to another, never pausing long enough to ask itself wtf is going on. The acting is gloriously OTT, especially from the female lead who comes across like the ultimate pantomime baddie, cackling sneering and roaring her way through the film with a luminous green flashing circle stuck behind her ear (don’t ask).It seems pointless describing much more. If you’re a fan of the bizarre, the absurd, the bad, the twisted, the preposterous, the uncanny and the warped, then enter this way and bring a crash helmet. It’s years since I saw Cronenburg’s original and I can’t even remember if I saw the first sequel, but Scanners 3 must surely stand alone as probably the most bonkers piece of cinema, of the 1990s at least, but possibly ever?
Scanners meets Videodrome
Directed by Christian Duguay and written by B. J. Nelson – the same team that did Scanners 2, as well as some of the same actors – this film is not related at all to that movie.It’s also way better than that movie.
Helena Monet (Liliana Komorowska, Screamers) is a scanner who constantly deals with the horrifying side effects of those powers until her adoptive father’s experimental Eph-3 drug drowns out the voices, but also causes her to lose all of her morals. She kills that father figure, takes over his drug company and also starts to take over all of the world’s entertainment.
Meanwhile, her adopted brother and fellow scanner Alex has been raised in a monastery where he’d have no outside voices bothering him, but now he must come back to a world he doesn’t know to stop his sister.
So yeah – amazingly, the third Scanners film is not all that bad. Even more incredibly, Scanner Cop blows this away.
