That's why I have to find Darryl Revok.

You,

my friend...

are a liar.

- Get out!

- Look...

I'm not leaving until you tell me

where I can find Darryl Revok.

No?

All right. Well, then, I'll get out.

Aaaargh!

Aaargh!

Ow!

No!

'The eye of Revok...

The eye of Revok...

'They're zombies, robots, killers...

'They'll turn me into a zombie...'

'There are others...

'Other scanners...

'Kill Obrist... Kill Obrist...'

Good evening, sir. Can I help you?

Are there any messages for me?

- Your name, sir?

- Cameron Vale.

- And your room number?

- 802.

Yes, this package is for you, sir.

My name is Cameron Vale.

- I've got to talk to Kim Obrist.

- Come on in.

Oh, God... They killed Ben Pierce.

- Yes.

- Come on upstairs.

Just wait here a sec.

Kim, Revok got to Ben Pierce. He's dead.

This guy's name is Cameron Vale.

I scanned him. He's for real.

He was there when it happened.

Sit down.

I know you.

You were at the gallery.

You were looking for Pierce.

I need help.

'Scan together. Scan together and

our minds begin to flow into each other

'until we become one mind.

One nervous system. One soul.

'One experience. Beautiful. Beautiful.'

'Beautiful and frightening.

Beautiful and frightening.'

'So frightening to lose yourself.

'So frightening to lose yourself to

the group, to lose yourself to the group will,

'to lose yourself to the group self.'

No!

Aaargh!

'The power...

'The power we can generate when

we focus our scans together is fantastic.

- 'Terrifying, supreme...'

- 'Terrifying, exhilarating...'

Around the side, quick!

Hurry!

Get in!

Let's go!

Kim...

Kim!

Kim, come on! Kim!

Now I know...

what it feels like to die.

Everywhere you go, somebody dies.

Who are you?

Who sent you?

- I'm a scanner.

- Who sent you?

I was found by ConSec.

- ConSec?

- They wanted me to find Revok.

I think they want to kill him.

But they never told me about you.

Tony!

Tony!

Tony...

Oh, no...

Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Come on!

Excuse me.

Excuse me, outside, ma'am.

OK, let's move out.

Back to the street.

Let me get out!

Let's get out of here!

We'll be all right here for a while.

It doesn't matter.

It's finished.

And nothing can stop Revok now.

We're the dream, he's the nightmare.

There's still us. I can help you.

We can destroy Revok together.

You?

You're barely human.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but you don't understand.

You don't know Revok,

you don't know how evil he is,

how powerful he is, you don't know anything.

What are you doing?

He must have something

that will lead us to Revok.

Us? No, not me.

There it is.

That's it.

That's it.

Dr. Ruth, telephone call, sir.

You can take it right here.

David Paul Cronenberg, CC OOnt FRSC (born March 15, 1943) is a Canadian filmmaker, actor and author. Cronenberg is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror or visceral horror genre.
