Though not titled as such, this was the fourth film in the Scanners franchise. Though credited as a writer , David Cronenburg had no active participation in the film. Sam Stasiak (Daniel Quinn ), an orphaned scanner follows his adoptive father (Richard Grove) into the police force and reluctantly agrees to use his powers to catch a serial killer Glock (Richard Lynch) who is using hypnosis to pursue his vendetta against the local force. This went straight to video with its second division cast and poor pacing but it's still modestly enjoyable due to the likeable characters at its heart.
