Second sequel to David Cronenberg's 1981 horror, about a group of telepathic people, known as 'scanners', operating on the fringes of human society. Young Helena Monet (Liliana Komorowska) has exceptional telepathic abilities, but when she tries an experimental drug developed by her father she turns into a deranged killer, using her abilities to cut a murderous swathe to the top of her father's pharmaceutical company. On her quest to dominate the world, Helena takes over a television station, and the only man who can stop her is her scanner brother Alex, recently returned from honing his skills in a Thai monastery.

Scanners III is a film that could easily escape your notice, as it doesn't really add anything significant to the series. It's a film that could have countless others made on the same topic. You simply take a character of a scanner, maybe several, and then layer on a banal plot. The film tries to say something, but it says the same thing as Cronenberg's film, which presented it in a much darker way.
