    Cameron Vale teeters on the edge of madness: his mind is plagued by strange voices and incessant buzzing. He is one of the “scanners”, people with the ability of telepathy and telekinesis. Dr Paul Ruth wants to use his special talents to fight Darryl Revok, the leader of an illegal terrorist organisation with immense power and an insatiable desire to control humanity. Legendary Canadian sci-fi introduced David Cronenberg and his penchant for body horror to mainstream cinema. An absolute classic that should not be missing from any genre fan’s must-see list. Just be careful it doesn’t make your head explode.


    Michael Ironside will be guest of the screenings in Prague and Brno. You can look forward for a Q&A after the screenings. The Q&A will be only in English language.
