Scanners (1981)
I originally saw "Scanners" in 1995 or 1996 and I didn't think much of it, except for Michael Ironside's performance which is memorable to the bone.
I re-watched it last Monday and my impressions are about the same - it's a good film with some interesting subtext and a couple of riveting scenes but it feels incomplete and confused at certain key points.
If you haven't seen it, keep it for a lazy afternoon or an after-party.
