This was well ahead of its time; even now, it's uncommon to see a film on psychics or their superhuman abilities. To even conceptualise a topic of this complexity demands bravery and a mind of a visionary, and David Cronenberg proved to have both!
Albeit neither the acting nor the storytelling are its strongest suits, regardless, the film leaves an impression thanks to its unique ideas and interesting world-building, most of which are well represented throughout its showing.
On a side note, I genuinely think it should be rebooted, I feel with today's advancements in technology, such notions would flourish and could evolve into something extraordinary, provided it is supervised by a competent individual taking the director's seat.
