“Environmental scanners” is more than just a very excellent explosion

When the film’s fans think ScotsThe direct bond is It is amazing A head scene explosion. In fact, when anyone thinks of amazing explosive head scenes … Scots Always on the head of the pile, directly Dawn and obsessed.

But while the work of the legend of special effects, Dick Smith deserves a lot of applause (in addition to ScotsIt includes its credits mascot and Death becomes her), There is more to David KronnbergFilm 1981 of great stains. Even the characters that maintain their heads suffer from terrible pain, and with high tension in the story, the feeling of chaotic discomfort permeates the world of the film, and is racing towards a final work that offers some venting but a little closing.

Scots The first major transformation of Cronsnberg was towards the broader recognition, and his fame expanded with his subsequent publications in the 1980s: Videodromeand The dead areaand FlyAnd Rangers is dead. The head scene comes somewhat early in the first chapter; It is an important moment that is not only determined to any extent Scots Prepare to go, but also what people who own fatal psychological forces can.

The film puts opposition forces in Cameron Fall (Stephen Phat), who knows that it is not normal but at first he does not understand the reason, and Daril Evoque (Michael Eronside), who is eager to arm his capabilities.

while Scots It depends on an epic mental battle between these two people (not exactly exciting like a head explosion, but it is full of horror of the body of brands in Kronnberg), we learn more about how the “wiping” phenomenon has become.

Unlike Stephen King curry and InstituteWhere children are just born talented, Scots He goes Firestarter The road, which was later taken by the king affected Strange things. Screams are not the product of nature. They were created, thanks to a experimental drug called “phosphreol” with a curious effect on children who have not yet been born. It can also be temporarily subject to risk. When Vale tries for the first time, his mind suddenly is free of happiness from exhausting the mental cross.

Scots It differs more from other stories of this type in terms of that it focuses on adult self, not children like Strange thingsEleven or teenagers Anger. It is also free of any kind of government threat; Instead, the bad guys come out of a private military company in addition to a shaded drug laboratory and include a very unethical doctor, Dr. Roth (which I played by PrisonerPatrick McGuhan) and head of TURNCOAT, Keeler (Lawrence Dan).

Scots‘Main Baddie, however, is Revok. He is the person who makes this head explode, and provides a great conflict more than the institutions that eager to exploit it. His goal is simple: global domination, and he has a real feeling “join or die” about it.

Vale and other charitable lights – including Kim, played by Jennifer O’Neil, Najma Psychological; We also meet the sculptor whose very symbolic action includes a giant head you can climb inside – their best to prevent him. But the viewer left wondering what positive Applications may be the powers of mind control.

There is definitely an executive element. Even if it does not mean that, remote removal from Vale for the random woman who is seen by contempt is equal and hopeless parts.

We also see that Scots You have the ability to penetrate computers with their minds (1981 versions of computers, anyway; it includes the payment phone). However, the mood made of madness tends everywhere in which there are no winners when the human brain exceeds its capabilities.

“We were the dream, which is a nightmare,” says Kim sadly after Evok gets the upper hand. But from Vale, the man who has the best opportunity to beat Evoque, says: “You are barely a human,” only a little kindness from Dr. Roth, who is called “a piece of human garbage” and “obsessed with nature.”

The film ends in a note of the highest satisfaction. Edra is neutralized, but there is a threat waving on the horizon in the future. In the third chapter, we learn that Evoque has made a plan to create an army of miracles using crusts on pregnant women – and that his “soldiers” will soon be born. We know that it works; At one point, Kim realizes that she was scanned by the fetus.

“We won,” is Vale’s announcement of victory, but it is a temporary victory. Anxiety only increases through the fact that Vale has transferred his opinion to the Rvok body: a new unlocked capacity that appears to be a sign of an irreplaceable chaos. Winners who do not know what to live in torment, as Valer did once, while scanners who realize what they can do is about to be demonic like Revok. Who will say what path will all these newborn scanners take?

While you think about all ways Scots It ends up with simultaneous notes from the strange height and a certain consent, no one will mind if you go back and watch the head scene several times. Ironside twisted facial expressions because it is ready for the skull to combustion also deserves some rewind.

Scots It now flows on HBO Max; It also reaches the tremor of October 1.
