Why are you such a derelict? Such a piece of human junk? The answer’s simple. You’re a scanner, which you don’t realize. And that has been the source of all your agony. But I will show you now that it can be a source of great power.
CW: Exploding head. David Cronenberg. Genetic manipulation. Homeless escalator acrobatics. Involuntary suicide. Thinly veiled Thalidomide allegory. Did I say exploding head? Exploding head.
Saw this as a kid with my mom in the theater. After being scarred by the “head” scene, I watched the rest of it between my fingers with my hands up covering my face. Such sweet memories of mother/son time in my youth.
Ah Cronenberg movies, great movies to watch with parents!
Joke aside, this is by far from the worst of his movies to watch with parents.
