Time -
Cronenberg delivers.

|
|
Variety -
Scanners offers at least one literally eye-popping moment and another that can only be called mind-blowing.

TV Guide Magazine -
Scanners is a memorable and absorbing genre entertainment.

Boston Globe -
The film is more interesting as a phenomenon than as a movie. [27 Feb 1981]

Chicago Reader -
One of the most technically proficient of David Cronenberg's early gnawing, Canadian-made horror movies, though it lacks both the logic and the queasy sexual subtext that made his still earlier work - "Rabid," "They Came From Within" - so memorably revolting.
