Overview
From the singularly talented Canadian director David Cronenberg comes this explosively gory and original sci-fi/horror hybrid.

Picked up from the streets, Vale is sent out by the weapons company Consec, to hunt down Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside) a renegade scanner using his powers to ill ends.
