Scanners III: The Takeover (1992)

Amidst a Christmas celebration in her apartment, Joyce Stone finds herself in the company of the intriguing step-siblings Helena and Alex Monet, the latter being her boyfriend. As the party takes an unexpected turn, Alex's attempts to showcase his scanner abilities result in a tragedy, causing the death of his best friend. Although found innocent, the guilt-ridden Alex embarks on a journey to a Thai monastery, seeking to master the control of his extraordinary power. While Alex is away, a chilling incident in an alleyway forces Helena to unleash her dormant scanner abilities, rescuing Joyce from a gang attack. The incident triggers a debilitating migraine for Helena, the sound of voices serving as a painful reminder of her newfound abilities. Her stepfather, Elton Monet, reveals an experimental EPH-3 patch under development, designed to help scanners like her. Despite Helena's offer to test the patch, Elton remains hesitant, citing the uncertainty of potential side effects. In the stillness of the night, Helena surreptitiously uses the EPH-3 patch, which not only alleviates her migraines but also triggers a sinister transformation. Her once sweet demeanor morphs into a ruthless ambition for power. She seizes control of her workplace, a prominent TV network, after decimating her boss, Mark Dragon. She then eliminates Elton, taking reign over his company and research. Dr. Baumann, who once subjected her to cruel experiments, also meets a grisly end at her hands. Meanwhile, Michael, a loyal friend and lawyer to Alex, learns of Helena's dark transformation. He ventures to Thailand to warn Alex, only to meet a tragic end, assassinated by a scanner under Helena's command. Upon learning of the dire situation, Alex completes his training and returns home, ready to confront his sister. As the tale unfolds, one question remains: Will Alex muster the strength to halt Helena's destructive path, or will her newfound power prove too formidable?
