before scanner there be this wonderful little gore fest from brian de palma and who all ready have do such great hitchcock like thriller a sister and obsession and of course carrie and which in many way be relate to this one and another tale of telekinesis with deadly result . it be also worth note that david cronenberg above mention scanner seem to owe a great deal to this movie . the fury balance brilliantly between weird and unexpected comedy ( like the whole scene where douglas carjacks two off duty cop and one play by dennis franz . ) and imaginative horror that will turn off anyone who hat blood . great act from everyone while worth note the star make performance of amy irving and andrew stevens and douglas who have a field day and cassavetes who look great a the sinister bad guy and carrie snodgress who will touch your heart with her performance a the caring nurse hester . the last scene be quite a kick and truly one of the most memorable finale ever show on screen and and it could very well leave you cheer well into the end credit .
