Another enjoyable companion piece to Cronenberg's original even if they do feel more bargain basement and mediocre

The second sequel to David Cronenberg's original has enough ideas and reasonably good performances in it to maintain the interest as this centers on a doctor who has developed a drug to control his children, who are of course scanners, but when his daughter discovers the drug and abuses it to cure her recurring headaches the untested side affects take hold and only her brother has the telekinetic ability to save her.Directed once again by Christian Duguay and filmed back to back with Scanners II (1991) there is at least an attempt to avoid retreading old ground with some good ideas and various subplots from the writers but it is still hampered by pedestrian directing, hokey special effects and average acting that gets even further away from Cronenberg's brilliance.These sequels feel a bit bargain basement and unnecessary and are clearly a cash-in exercise on the part of producer Pierre David but they are still enjoyable companion pieces however, Pierre David didn't stop there, he went on to direct the third sequel Scanner Cop (1994) and produce the fourth Scanner Cop II (1995), both of which were direct-to-video releases with diminishing returns.
