I haven't watch much Cronenberg, but when Criterion released Scanners I picked it up. Going into it I didn't really have any idea what the movie was about, which is usually a good way to see a movie. The only thing I really knew about it was the famous exploding head, which just looks so epic.
Cronenberg does a good job getting in his audiences head, which I guess is what he's going for (especially with this film). Great use of practical special FX.

The movie peaks with the exploding head. There's no way to top that. Still a good movie. The climax can only let you down, though.
I feel like the end is pretty solid too, no where near as epic as the head pop, but still...
