Excellent



This was a really good film.
With Patrick McGoohan and Michael Ironside in the same film, it can only be good.

The concept of weaponised telepathy is nothing new, and explored well in this film.
The practical effects are awesome, although a bit gross.

When people are scanning each other, they sure do make funny faces. It's kind of hilarious.

Nice twist right at the end.

Definite re-watch value.

Great movie, maybe my fourth favorite Cronenberg after Videodrome, The Fly & The Dead Zone.

I just watched this and it was quite an experience.
... it's the source of a famous head explosion gif, it has some hilariously bad cuts, completely bonkers ideas about computers, and I hope they stored the actress' DNA, because I'd like a clone,,,,

Good stuff. It seems it made quite an impression.

It's an ok b-flick. Scanning a computer and resulting explosions were over the top, though.

What part of it exactly, the exploding phone booth or the ignitions in the phone lines?
