Writer/director David Cronenberg is well known for his science fiction and horror films, with grotesque gore gags and body horror prevalent throughout much of his work. This is the man who brought us the nightmarish Brundlefly mutant in "The Fly" and the freaky surgery sex of "Crimes of the Future," but one of his most impressively shocking moments came early in his career: the head explosion in the 1981 movie "Scanners." In the film, 237 people have become "scanners," or beings capable of immense telepathic and psychokinetic powers. Early on in the film, powerful scanner Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside) uses his powers to explode the head of a rival scanner (Louis Del Grande), and it is truly grotesque. Gore shoots in all directions as the scanner's head explodes, his face trapped forever in a moment of surprise. It's gross, it's gory, and it's glorious. It was also surprisingly simple to create.

It's unclear whether the infamously mysterious street artist Banksy is actually a part of this documentary or if it's just his work that's featured in it, but in any case, Saving Banksy is a doc that debates the merits of art vs. graffiti and tries to answer the question of whether or not street art should stay in the street. It's a somewhat complicated topic, and one that the film's talking heads are certainly passionate about (heads up: there's some Nsfw language in here).
They really missed a golden opportunity to call this Saving Mr. Banksy and riff on the Disney title Saving Mr. Banks. No release date has been announced yet, so keep your eyes peeled for this one, which seems likely to hit VOD more than your local multiplex.
