Daryl Revok Magnets
Description: was one of Cronenberg's early films that i did not have the chance to watch. On a recommendation by @mstanya88 i have watched it and it took a little bit time to sink in. It started with a premise more like "dangeorus mutants" kind of movie and lead to more of a "science gone wrong" theme we are familliar with. I really enjoyed this violent and gory take on telepathy. Telepathy is often pictured very clean and plain. Here its a matter of your "scanning" power to make someone go mad or make their whole head explode. And that head explosion gonna stick with me for a while. Loved every use of prosthetics l effects here. Only the final scene makes it worth giving the movie a chance. Illustration by Halil Karasu
Description: Darryl Revok is the most powerful of all the scanners, and is the head of the underground scanner movement for world domination. Scanners have great psychic power, strong enough to control minds; they can inflict enormous pain/damage on their victims. Doctor Paul Ruth finds a scanner that Revok hasn't, and converts him to their cause - to destroy the underground movement.
