Hello, this is Dom…

From Second Sight Films, the Cronenberg classic, Scanners, will be released on 31st March. Here’s what they had to say:

Scanners is the cornerstone of 1980s horror/sci-fi and a breakthrough for the now legendary director David Cronenberg (Crimes of the Future, The Fly, Videodrome), now the seminal shocker is set a mind-blowing Limited Edition makeover from experts in the field, Second Sight Films, this March.

Scanners Limited Edition 4K/UHD and Blu-ray Box set is set for release on 31 March 2024 and will also be available in Standard Edition 4K and Blu-ray. The groundbreaking special effects and iconic explosive scenes are about to be seen in all their grotesque glory with a brand-new 4K restoration, with the approval of Cronenberg himself. 

The set is presented in a stunning rigid slipcase complete with new artwork by Krishna Shenoi and comespacked with a slew of brilliant special features including a new commentary, interviews with cast and crew, including Micheal Ironside. There’s also a 120-page book filled with essays and more. Please see the full list of features on attached.

Drifter Cameron Vale (Stephen Lack – Dead Ringers) is plagued by incessant voices in his head, unaware that he’s a ‘Scanner’ – a person with extraordinary telepathic powers, who can not only read minds but literally tear them apart.

When he meets Dr. Paul Ruth (Patrick McGoohan – The Prisoners, Braveheart), the scientist recruits him and others of his kind to help them adapt to society. But a sinister underground movement of Scanners led by the psychotic Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside – Total Recall, Starship Troopers) have other intentions and the ultimate confrontation of minds awaits.

Get your head in the game for this brand-new must have collector’s edition of Scanners, it’s guaranteed to blow your mind.
