Scanners Movies: Scanner Cop Films
The Scanner Cop duology takes the scanner concept in a different direction, focusing on law enforcement officers with psychic abilities. These films operate as a spin-off from the main Scanners storyline, creating their own self-contained narrative about police work enhanced by telepathic powers.
This watch list is for viewers who want to explore how scanner abilities work within a police procedural framework, offering a different tone and approach compared to the body horror and corporate conspiracy themes of the main trilogy.
