First movie is outstanding and second Scanner movie was really good, I really enjoyed both.

The movie start of with a party.

Then two guys, one of them is a scanner.

Alex Monet is showing off, and a friend dies in a tragic accident, so he goes to Tibetan to get away.

Meanwhile his siste,r Helena and her friend are walking in ally come underattack and Helena ability come into action.

As Helena get home, then her father tells that he got a new drug Eph-3, which she does use even, when her father tells her not too, the drugs take over her and she start acting for evil and want Scanners to take over the world.

There is only one person that can stop her, that is her brother Alex, who has to get away from other Scanner, that are trying to kill him.

This movie was really poor, I did not enjoy it, this movie not that gory at all or even nasty, they even taken a death scene from first movie and made it look so cheap, other deaths silly and really badly done.

There even tired to add some humour in this, which did not work at all, the jokes were not funny at all.

The acting wasn't to bad for a 3rd movie in the series. I am going to give this movie 4 out of 10

Opening with a Christmas party in which a scanner shows off his powers with unexpectedly tragic results, this second sequel to David Cronenberg's 'Scanners' begins on a chilling note. Things only get more interesting as one of the party guests soon has to use her scanning abilities to fend off muggers, which results in massive headaches (having avoided scanning in so long) with a possible cure in an experimental nicotine patch style of sorts. After this promising start though, the plot soon derails as the patch as the side effect of turning her into a homicidal megalomaniac, similar to Raoul Max Trujillo in 'Scanners II'. Lead actress Liliana Komorowska manages to chew the scenery even more so than Trujillo though in such a wildly exaggerated performance that it is draining to watch. There are also a host of ill-defined supporting characters who inexplicably wear sunglasses all the time (to stop accidentally scanning??) and as she manages to control others through television sets, her powers end up more fantastical than pseudo-scientific as in the first two films. 'Scanners 3' does, however, deserve some points for presenting a more original plot than Part 2. There is also quite a bit of humour in the mix (forcing an obnoxious date to dance; waking up in a morgue) and the special effects are uniformly excellent, but this is a hard film to get excited about.

Christian Duguay directed in 1991 "Scanners II: The New Order", that same year he directed a third part, "Scanners III: The Takeover". The second film was amazing but this third part is weak, some good acting and gore, interesting scenes but the film is not that good, the comedy used in some moments is stupid. The script could be better. "Scanners" and "Scanners II: The New Order" are great films, but "Scanners III: The Takeover" is not good but not that bad either.
