Scanners II

                 Power doesn't make you good, Dave. It just makes you powerful. And it makes                                        me hungry. I'm gonna suck you dry, pretty boy...

Scanners II: The New Order opens with the discovery and capture of an unstable scanner, Peter Drak. After being captured by several police officers, Drak is brought into Morse Neurological Research Institute and into the service of Dr. Morse, a scientist interested in controlling scanners through drugs. He’s only partially succeeded. Scanners who use F-2 to control their powers (and the voices in their heads), eventually become addicted, and, therefore, useless to Morse or his associate in the police force, Commander John Forrester. Forrester, it seems, has some strongly defined ideas about the social order and using scanners to combat crime, even if that means going outside the laws he’s sworn to uphold.

Enter David Kellum, a veterinarian student at the local university and scanner (due to an isolated upbringing in a rural community, David’s powers are, as yet, untapped). He discovers his scanning powers during a hold up, and he is brought to the attention of Forrestor, who of course wants his powers for his own personal gain.

Eventually David becomes suspicious of Forrestros motives and soon discovers his plans for power....and yes Forrestor would like otbecome mayor. Along the way revelations about David's past are revealed, and as the film draws on David is soon on the run, pursued by the Police and other scanners, namely the villeanous Drak.....This film is not a patch on the first and runs a little too long for my liking.
