Scanners

Scanners is a 1981 Canadian science-fiction horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg and starring Jennifer O'Neill, Steven Lack, Michael Ironside, and Patrick McGoohan. In the film, "scanners" are people with unusual telepathic and telekinetic powers. ConSec, a purveyor of weaponry and security systems searches out scanners to use them for its own purposes. The film's plot concerns the attempt by Darryl Revok, a renegade scanner, to wage a war against ConSec. Another scanner, Cameron Vale, is dispatched by ConSec to stop Revok.

Plot

Private security firm ConSec plans to showcase potential "scanners", people with exceptional powers of telekinesis, telepathy, and mind control. However, when ConSec's scanner attempts to read the mind of a volunteer from the invited group, the scanner's head explodes. ConSec officials surmise that the volunteer was himself a scanner and initially take him into custody. However, he is able to use his powers to kill the men guarding him and escape.

    VIOLENCE IS GOLDEN

    by: Scanners

    Love is red sheets of pain
    A flawless disease
    Invisible chain
    Oh lover scream out my name
    Your spiralling song
    Your tortured refrain
    The music of your spinal cord
    Your brainwaves crashing on the shore
    You had my all but needed more
    Your violence is golden
    Nail the purple heart to your door
    A conflict of souls
    A beautiful war
    But is it this pain I adore
    Across the hot coals
    I crawl on your floor
    The rhythm of your breaking heart
    Crashing as you fall apart
    Longing for a brand new start
    Your violence is golden
    Begging for a mercy killing
