A Scanner Darkly Phillip K. Dick’s parable about how drug use can be so serious you can actually start to lose your identity, has been turned into a fairly entertaining movie by Linklater. Using his slacker stoner origins from Dazed And Confused and applying it to the sci-fi genre, Linklater made the daring decision to […]
Scanners Perhaps best classified as the last of the b-grade horror films David Cronenberg directed before he started making masterpieces on a consistent basis, this film also started its own low-budget franchise that continued on thru four sequels as well.
