REVIEWS (1)
A young girl discovers her "scanner" powers and decides to try to enhance them by taking a special substance, invented by her father, that should allow her to further increase her mental powers. The drug, however, makes her lose control of herself and turns her into a threat to everyone; her brother, endowed with the same powers, will take care of it. Third chapter of the saga conceived by Cronenberg, directed by the same director as the second episode; the story is little more than a pretext to stage the usual "situations": exploding heads, individuals driven to suicide and "mental" clashes to the death. Avoidable and boring.
